Dear group; As per most starter nixie clock builders; I've been looking at IN-18 size tubes, approx 40mm high, and my God they are expensive!
I've found a listing for a Philips ZM1040 sold ex Russia on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ZM1040-TESLA-nixie-tube-red-1pc-/220690126115?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3362281523#ht_818wt_1139 $50! Does it make sense that a Philips (Dutch?) tube would be sold ex Russia? There is also this style of auction: http://cgi.ebay.com/NIXIE-TUBE-Z566M-ZM-1040-SIMILAR-7-UNITS-USED-TESTED-/270658049958?pt=Vintage_Electronics_R2&hash=item3f047a17a6#ht_500wt_1156 Very low on detail but not too crazy a price. 7 for $120 = $17 a tube. Too good to be true? Old tubes sold as NOS? All help appreciated. Steve -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
