Re: [neonixie-l] Re: Well I tried, big tubes on ebay this am

[Tomasz Kowalczyk]

LC-531. I haven't used them in a clock yet, but I've salvaged 3 PFL type 
frequency meters, which gave me 21 tubes. 7 of them were dead from the 
start, 2 barely lit and start glowing properly only with supply voltage 
over 200V, next 5 have major poisoning, which I mostly healed... for now. 
 So out of 21 tubes taken from lab equipment, which was always kept in 
reasonable temperatures and not used very frequently, only 7 were in at 
least good condition. The 1300h tube life from datasheet seems to be no 
lie, which is a bit strange - these tubes seem to contain mercury.
At the same time, I've salvaged tubes from equipment in far worse condition 
(some stuff probably survived a flood) and good to bad tubes ratio was 
always way higher.

That sucks. I have several clocks with the IN17's and they seem like hardy
little tubesmaybe you got a few bad ones?

So a thread hijack here...what's the worst tube you've used with regards to
longevity? I've had bad luck with IN16's and IN2's (had to change multiple
times in several clocks...)...I've heard the IN1's can be a pain, but I've
yet to finish a clock with those yet...

[neonixie-l] Russian importing service

[David Forbes]

Hi. I am looking for help, to be able to ship products to Russia. I assume
that I need to use an import service company to get past the rule that no
commercial shipments to private persons are allowed.

Do any of you have experience with such a service?

[Roddy Scott]

Hi Nick,

I did not know of the other two suppliers so thanks for the links. I think 
that Billington have the most in Nixies from what I have seen so far 
looking through the others. Colomor seem a bit expensive for their stuff.

Alic,

The list is all the Nixies and Dekatrons I could find searching the PDF 
catalogue. Marting from Billington mailed me to say that the PDF catalogue 
is about 90% correct as they have not had time to update it. I could 
imagine that would be quite a job!

It's actually Billington Export 
 - one of the major UK 
suppliers.

It's all a bit bizarre really - they are in a tiny town called Billingshust 
in East Sussex. However, Langrex , another of 
the major UK suppliers is also there... and so are Colomor Electronics 
 who sell through 
eBay,

Why oh why does a tiny place in the middle of nowhere attract 3 of the main 
UK suppliers?

I must be getting senile! 

You are right, it is a ZM1232.
I was a discussion with another member where I sent him the wrong photo and 
thought I put the same in here.

I see the upside down 7, so it probably is the right photo. A really good
