Sounds good. I would be interested in hearing more on this as it develops.
Aside from that, several terminals that I've encountered (and some of which
ended up being scrapped) had a power supply that provided both the typical +5
and +/-12 but also had an output for the "CRT board" which was typically at
least 100V, perhaps higher. It shouldn't be too much of a problem to get
from there to the 170V that seems to be favored for
Nixie tubes.
