At the time they were pretty cheap - I live in the UK, it would never have made sense to go there personally. I did try to get him to pack them properly, but he never did - just chucked another few in to cover the losses. The newspaper in the photo is all the "packing" they had - it the very same paper they were wrapped in when originally stored in the 1970s and were still in when he discovered the cache in, I believe, a New York warehouse. ISTR there were a fewf thousand of them. When shipping them to us they came in just that sheet of 1970s newspaper - that's all. As far as we know he was the only person to have commercial quantities of these tube - they were all used, and no one has yet seen a genuine NOS 7971 - lots that claim to be, but none verified. SO this cache seems to have been the mother lode. Main problem was that he wasn't a tube guy - he dealt in old coins and really really didn't want the hassle of wrapping them individually and shipping them properly. Several of us tried to reason with him, but to no avail. Ah. Well. Its done now... Nick -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.

Nick, I encountered a 7% breakage and 2% defect rate. Abysmal. That may be in line with most who had bought tubes from him in quantity. Each box "tinkled" when lifted; a little audible treat of what was in store for the lucky recipient on opening :( I suspected all the tubes with shattered envelopes had valiantly sacrificed themselves to provide padding for others to survive the journey. They tubes I received were shipped cross country (MA to AZ) in the same old newspaper they were originally wrapped in up in the attic cache. Many had no paper over them at all. I didn't receive any overage or replacements, since he was already at the end of the fun. I'd venture to guess that upwards of a thousand tubes were lost to breakage in transit to all buyers. If i remember right, you had a substantial buy as well. Hard to believe that nine years have gone by already. We were all so bright eyed and bushy tailed nixie fiddlers then... The tubes I have now were purchased only recently.

Of the shipments I received, I lost about 20, but he always packed extra to account for "wastage". http://www.desmith.net/NMdS/Nixies/DSCN1855.JPG Yes, the newspaper was the only packing - the tubes were close packed in pathetic boxes in batches of 100 or so. It almost made me weep. Some years ago I also have received a package with 300 B-7971 tubes. about 150 were broken. The look was exactly the same as your picture. They were wapped in newspapers, and then glass on glass in boxes without any padding material - and then shipped over the ocean from USA to Germany. TERRIBLE!

Re: [neonixie-l] Nixie watch kit
MakerShed. It's too bad they don't post a link directly where to get it. Had to google for it. Reveiws did mention MakerShed, but I had never heard of it. So many people posting about the watch and reviews, that the actual site selling it was far down the list. Found - out of stock David, I am interested if you make a nixie watch kit. Not because of the price drop (although that is great), but because it would be a kit. I would suggest you offer extra cases and/or keep extra on hand (in stock), because some of us are rough on watches by bumping into things (working with hands a lot in boxes, lifting, etc).
