The NL840s have presumably all been tested. I double check them, testing so far about 10-12% of the bunch. I've yet to find any bad ones. Since they were probably made

Fortunately, the Russian VFDs are actually quite inexpensive. About $1.50 per tube.

That is a good deal. Although, for a Russian this is a lot of money.

Yes- don't forget cats. Our one cat likes to knock things off the dresser until someone finally gets out of bed to feed him and give attention.
Scolding doesn't work. As soon as you climb back into bed he's back up there again. We almost had the clock radio go sliding off one morning.. it's just a matter of time.

We have two cats. Ajax and Comet. Very clean cats. Comet can open drawers, so almost every night she opens my sock drawer, unpacks/scatters about half the socks, and sleeps on the rest.
The kitchen table is glass, which is hard and cold. Newspapers are relatively warm and soft. So we don't get to read much of the paper in the morning.
Cats are the top of the food chain.

Not according to our Rottweiler :-)

It's funny how they like to interfere with reading the paper!
My other cat problem is keeping the sister cat from sleeping on my cable PVR (DVR). She likes those "always warm" air vents to sleep on. The problem is that her hair gets inside. It's just a matter of time, which was one deciding factor in renting the unit.
When we first got our HD plasma TV, the first HDMI cable was sacrificed to cats. Now the cables have that plastic automotive harness covering over them. The little chewers can't get at 'em now.
(Don't get me started-) Years ago a cat was responsible for knocking over something on my workbench. It shorted out and started a fire (in the basement). We caught it in time fortunately, thanks to smoke detectors.
Cats are fuzzy walking hazzards. Don't underestimate!

Your Rottweiler never met my Burmese.
One of our Dachshunds decided it was fun the T-bone the cat, until the cat bounced up from such a hit and bit the end of the Dachshund's tail off :-)
My wife was seeing these funny red semi-circular red marks on the kitchen tile... it was the Dachshund wagging his tail :-) ...Jim Thompson

There's something about the white Apple computer cables that's irresistible to cats.

Except NIixie(tm) tubes are neon filled not vacuum. Different voltage line up as well, about 180 V instead of 10 to 20 for many VFD.
