I do a lot of stuff with Nixie tubes.
7441s are pretty rare, but 74141s are around. The Russian clone
of the 74141, the K155, is readily available on eBay at reasonable
prices. I've used quite a few of them with good results.
Nixie tubes really aren't that difficult to drive. If you decide
to give them a shot, drop me a note and I'll send you some info to
get you started.
