Hi Nick;
What is the likelihood these NIMOs are not defective?

Unless they've leaked, they should be fine. They *look* OK from the photos.

I have a similar IEE manufacturer's box and mine look identical.

Of course, until they're powered-up, all bets are off.

And no phosphor burn, so truly unused.

Well the pair went for $652. Did anyone here get these?

BTW, did IEE ever actually sell the NIMO 64 tube?
It looked, from the pictures I saw, that it was essentially 64 dual grid 
triodes arranged in an 8 x 8 array with 64 character masks.
I surmised that an individual triode was turned on when both grids had 
positive voltage. Is that basically correct?
Thanks

That price seems insane.  It makes it tempting for me to sell the ones I am
sitting on, but I am still hoping to do a clock with them.  As a point of
reference on price, I bought 4 on fleabay in 2016 for $100 each (which
granted I have not tested due to not getting around to putting together a
proper PSU,  but I believe are NOS and working based on seller reputation,
and look in excellent condition).  Some are probably scoffing that I spent
that much without testing, but I took a calculated risk and didn't have any
way to in a timely fashion.  I'm still a piker at building my own PSUs
unfortunately.

Anyways, as a tube hoarder, I have no intention to sell them, especially
since I really do want to make a clock out of them, but a gain of over 300%
in less than two years wouldn't be too shabby!   I'm sure there are some
tube elders of mine on list laughing that I paid that much compared to
whatever they're holding, but I was unfortunately late to the tube game.
