Corrections of language and nomenclature errors are accepted critic too

In my collection i have a neon tube with an UX4 bayonet base. There are no inscriptions on the glass nor on the base.
Can you identify ?

I just can say one thing: Wow!!

This is absolutely great! Fantastic work! The Octagon was always one of the most beautyful TVs, and your replica is absolutely perfect! Respect!

Very impressive engineering, even down to making the knobs, slip rings etc. And winding 2000 turns of .3mm wire" Wow! Congratulations.

.....if you really wish comments on langauge then a tiny error....
"Knob :........ A brass centerpiece is mould in to locate the fixing screw ."
That should read 'moulded'.
But, never mind the language, Denis, the engineering is absolute tops as is the resulting NBTV.

I can only agree with the others here...an example of dedication and true engineering.

I cannot even guess how many hundreds of hours you must have put into this, not only the construction, but the research that went into it. Even setting up the web-site must have taken some time.

In a single word....amazing!
