I know this is probably easily outdone through other means, but it's kind of neat, isn't it? Maybe some sort of visual indicator on a guitar amp trem, and you really want to brag on the thing being all tube.

I've never seen this tube before.
looks to be related to the nixie tubes and magic eye (cats eye) tubes.
I have an old radio that uses the eye tube.
I've read that all the eye tube circuitry involves a limiter circuit.
this tube looks cool
I don't know enough to suggest any uses
maybe someone else can help with that

This reminds me of the Monty Python sketch, The Semaphore Version of Wuthering Heights.

Of course I just got back from the second wine-tasting dinner of the week. Can't keep this pace up.

I have two of those, but I did not even notice they were indicator tubes. Thanks for pointing that out.
