A couple scans of the docs that came with the pile of retro Russian vacuum florescent tubes for our Ice Tube Clock kit – clearly a piece of history for true tube lovers!

Hi Limor, I wonder if I can get a copy of the whole document that came with the tubes. I kinda like vacuum tubes since I grew up with them. Many thanks and I look forward to getting my Ice Tube kits.

wire, the only thing we got with the tubes is the somewhat-wretched scanned paper linked to in the blog post 🙁
Theres also some documentation here

Wirechief, Limor,
These “ИВ-18 type 2” indicating gauges are still available from several russian electronics shops for 2.5-3$. If you like I can try to contact them and try get some documentation.
I also found this one:

If you need help with the translation, please let me know.

Howdy Anton, You must speak Russian ? Yes it would be interesting to translate so I would like your help. I also have a Russian that has e mailed me and needs a certain type searchcoil from my store. I might have to recruit you to tell me exactly what he is looking for. Thank you Anton and be safe.
