Yeah, that too. And register a whole lot of machine guns before May 1986, and file mining claims, then patent claims to get the land transferred to me before then too. And get someone to buy me a few B-17 and B-29s right after the war. And a few 62 Corvettes, and a Ferrari 250 or two... On

My first (8) came from PolyPaks or Burnstein-Applebee in 1971. They shipped mounted in the board assembly and were wrapped up in paper. I think that they were something like $8 for the set of two tubes. That was the good old days, but alas, I only bought the boards with eight tubes. My

My two cents…. I purchased all mine via ebay. Many good and some I was scammed. The best batch I got was wrapped in old newspapers dated back to 1968. Seller poorly packaged and several broke. I opened the box on video camera cause I could hear the broken glass as soon as I received the

If you dont already have a clock or other device with 7971's, I suggest you make one. Even though these tubes are a bit ugly, they are so enormous and versatile that you will be pleased with it. And keep a few spares. I built an 8-tube clock with 7971's a few years ago and I still like it, and

I sorted out my collection of tubes and was surprised , how much B7971 I own. Would like to sell some of these tubes. What do you think is a fair price for one tube , or for six tubes ? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group. To
