[Heath] Digital Wind Speed Indicator Model ID-1590/ID - 1590E

Hi Heathkit Folks,
 
After around 38 years continuous service, my Digital Wind Speed Indicator  
"Nixie Tube" digital readout is starting to lose some of its segments.
 
If anyone has a working or non-working unit they'd like to unload, I could  
use the electronic components for spare parts.  Hopefully, the  readout 
might still have some life left in it also.
 
I'm surprised my readout lasted this long.  In my experience their  
lifetime is usually much shorter.  This one must have been well made, I  guess.
 
I'm pretty sure there is no source, local or foreign, for Nixie Tube  
displays like this any more either.  I could re-design it to use another  kind of 
readout, but thought I'd try the spare-parts route first.
 
Thanks for any help or info you can provide!
