I would also comment that there is a great deal of test equipment
that use nixies that with maintence last for many years. My Yasu
350mhz counter is still going and it's 26 years old. Nixies have a
good life. However 74141s are getting scarce.

Why not. I just finished an ELF (using nwer parts) and my
CDP1802 chip from 1979 is still good.
