WITCH is unique in that is was stored as an original kit of modules from
the original machine and apparantly most of the dekatrons still worked.


I've followed all the links and read the articles - very interesting -
but want to know whether they have spare Dekatrons, and what they will
do when supplies run out. Anyone?


Use Pis to simulate them?


I expect someone is Russia still makes them...
