 Hi folks, I have a contact looking to sell 4 B7971 tubes. They are
 untested, but look to be in good shape from the attached photos. $150 each
 per tube (which is significantly less than what they're selling for on eBay
 at the moment, believe it or not!).

etco in Montreal had them both separate and with the boards, although 
the boards had the fingers broken off for the gold.  I think the whole 
module was about 10 Bucks CANADIAN.





But that was probably from the time when CAD $10 was a down payment on a 
house. ;)

I just acquired a 224 from eBay so my Eldorado Nixie gear collection may be 
complete. I already have a 325A and a 1615. I should take some pictures.

I still need the service manual for the 224 and the 325A if anyone has them...

Poly Paks, Meshna, et al. By 1979 used tubes were $4/each and NOS were 
$5/each at Meshna. I bought a few NOS that I still have but looking back, 
yes I wish I had bought more. But, honestly, what to do with all of them 
back then? They were still pretty common.
