Hi Limor, I wonder if I can get a copy of the whole document that came with the tubes. I kinda like vacuum tubes since I grew up with them. Many thanks and I look forward to getting my Ice Tube kits.

Wirechief, Limor,
These “ИВ-18 type 2″ indicating gauges are still available from several russian electronics shops for 2.5-3$. If you like I can try to contact them and try get some documentation.
I also found this one:

Howdy Anton, You must speak Russian ? Yes it would be interesting to translate so I would like your help. I also have a Russian that has e mailed me and needs a certain type searchcoil from my store. I might have to recruit you to tell me exactly what he is looking for. Thank you Anton and be safe.
