I have two, and they are really great. I learned a lot about surface mount soldering at the same time. Well done to Carl Ott and a wonderful design. The pain is getting the tubes.I wish I could get some at low cost. ___ Jack Buechler Landline: 0207 0437809 Mobile: 07946 002001 Skype: Jack_buechler From: Michail1 via neonixie-l neonixie-l@googlegroups.commailto:neonixie-l@googlegroups.com Reply-To: neonixie-l@googlegroups.commailto:neonixie-l@googlegroups.com neonixie-l@googlegroups.commailto:neonixie-l@googlegroups.com Date: Thursday, 15 May 2014 18:30 To: neonixie-l@googlegroups.commailto:neonixie-l@googlegroups.com neonixie-l@googlegroups.commailto:neonixie-l@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: [neonixie-l] 7971 nixies sighted on Ebay Easy to sell for $750 for a set of 6.

[neonixie-l] 7971 nixies sighted on Ebay
I dont see these listed very often; today there are 4 different lots posted. Happy bidding. Personally I'm not a big fan of segment displays because they remind me too much of LEDs. Now, if they were 7094's at this price I would be drooling... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups neonixie-l group.
