Carrying this idea of old logic families to its next stage, I wonder
if it would still be possible to get some "hard" ferrite toroids to

OMG! That's GORGEOUS.
Agreed. I even went looking for neons at Bletchley yesterday, but what I
remembered as being boxes of them turned out to be ordinary panel lamps :-(
Farnell look to sell some cheap ones though, so I might do some experimenting.
I've got some Nixies gathering dust - I wanted to use them for something that
wasn't a clock, but this neon one is sufficiently oddball that I'm very
tempted...
