I bought a couple sealed boxes of IN12's about 2 years ago because I could see this coming. Only 3 years ago I was buying sealed boxes of IN-18 for a little over a grand. Times are a changin'. Bill On Saturday, June 12, 2021 at 8:57:31 AM UTC-7 nickja...@gmail.com wrote: > I looked last

I looked last night on ebay the best price for IN-12 was $7 each. I think I paid $2.50 just a few months ago. On Sat, Jun 12, 2021, 10:02 AM gregebert wrote: > I'm hoping Dalibor will make his "H tube" available for sale when it's > production-worthy. > > On Saturday, June 12, 2021 at 4:29:38

I noticed the upward trend in early fall of 2019. I had just gotten back into Nixie's so I figured I had better jump and I went out and got a batch of NOS IN-12B, IN-17 and IN-15A/B's. The IN-15's are really just a curiosity item for their symbols. As people have noted, they are not making

I actually bought some of those 16-segment ones for that very reason! I've always trashed the typical generic multi-digit ones from old adding machines, etc because they're just not cool. But these individual tubes are pretty nice, and big. Also got some of the really big 7-segment ones. On

Yep, it's gone nuts. Beware the IN2, no Hg, so lifetime can be short and their QC left a little to be desired. On Thu, Jun 10, 2021 at 1:47 PM Nick Andrews wrote: > SO it's getting beyond ridiculous now. Over $6ea for IN-17 now? Really? > Quadrupled in price since I got a hundred of them
