Sorry to ruin it for you guys... It's not a scam of some kind. I bought the tubes on Monday night. I've been fighting with the other bidder over a bunch of auctions. It was my birthday Monday night and I wasn't going to let him win that one even though it cost me as much as my new Rigol mso5000 oscilliscope. I way over paid but I just might do it to him again on the other two. I also found another secret source for cheaper b7971's but they're getting scarcer and scarcer and it's hit or miss too. I bought 2 more last night for 150$. Month ago I got 6 for 400$ total and 2 for 250$ total from two different people. I'm working on a new smartsocket array and just bought a new mod-six from Michael... Hopefully shipping this week! I also have a v8-08 mod-six that's older. I think 7971's are going to become the next 568's. I love the Nixie glow but being able to make something besides numbers is priceless to me. Maybe it's the computer scientist in me... Idk? I love that b8971 clock too. There are some b5971s on eBay now... Anyone built a mini one? I've seen board Gerbers on the net for them.
