I agree, those are not correct boxes for the tubes. From additional anomalies already mentioned in some of the other comments here, the tubes are definitely not NOS either. The only original packaging I've ever seen (that I can remember) that is appropriate to B-7971 tubes is the styrofoam bulk trays.

There are tube companies that make only hundreds of particular tube type a year, using mostly hand techniques and simple machinery. Take a look at this clip from the TV show "How It's Made" - this is a free preview, but gets partway into the segment on tube building: http://www.amazon.com/Audio-Tubes-Shredders-Model-Aircraft/dp/B004MJ10BI Given that one CD47 sold for over $1300 on eBay recently, it would seem to me that a manufacturer could make at least as much money as they make on limited-production audio tubes by producing Nixies. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.

Re: [neonixie-l] Re: B7971's for sale (again)
Hi Nick, It looks like the boxes aren't matching the nixies. To my understanding, what was once in those boxes are the 6004 tubes: http://www.radiomuseum.org/tubes/tube_6004.html Like some other people in this email thread, I'm not buying the NOS status claimed in the auction. The seller, judging by the other items and selling history, isn't a vacuum tube or nixie expert, so he probably can't tell if the box matches the contents.

On Jun 26, 5:15 pm, jb-electronics wrote: > But not only are the tubes getting more and more expensive, interesting > Nixie tube listings on Ebay are getting rarer and rarer as well... Which leads to an interesting thought - if the supply of additional tubes is drying up, what is the possibility of commissioning the manufacture of some new tubes? There are still companies producing vacuum tubes (mostly in Eastern Europe) and with current eBay closing prices, it would seem to be cost-effective to build and sell new ones. What type(s) would people want? IN-18, B7971, or (dare I say it) CD47? Something else? If some eBay sellers are hoarding large quantities of true NOS tubes (I suspect this is the case for the IN-18, far less so for the others), just serious negotiations with a manufacturer about restarting production might break the logjam. I don't think doing this for VFD displays would be cost-effective, at least not until prices rise considerably. IV-17 / IV-4's have all but disappeared from eBay - it used to be possible to buy 100's at $1.50 each or less. There are a few listings now for small lots (4 or 6 tubes) at $3.00 each. I wonder if someone who plans on producing kits (or assembled clocks) bought them all up? That would be a lot of tubes - 2 years ago I had a quote from a Russian vendor with quantity discount breaks up to 10,000 pieces. If there is interest in the IN-18, Svetlana may even have existing tooling: http://www.svetlana-tubes.com/svetlana.htm If that doesn't work out, perhaps a manufacturer like JJ Electronic would be interested: http://www.jj-electronic.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
