[neonixie-l] Re: B7971 with 2 segments lighting together

[gregebert]

I've only had one tube develop a mechanical short between adjacent 
segments, most likely because they shifted and made contact. In my case, I 
was able to confirm this with an ohmmeter though I dont recall what the 
resistance was. 

Someone on this forum posted their fix for this a few years ago, basically 
attaching the tube to a stick, and whacking it. It might have been Michail 
Wilson; my apologies if I got the name/credit wrong. I'm way too much of a 
chicken to even think about doing this, so I keep this tube as a spare.

Nop but his starting price was 799 USD and he kept decreasing by 50USD 
until the current price at 499. I suggest you wait a little bit more :)

[neonixie-l] Re: B7971 tubes for sale - $150 each

[chuckrr]

Back about 20 years ago, I got a bunch (about 30) B-7971 tubes from an 
ebay seller who shipped them wrapped in newspaper.

Those papers are very old, they have 1968 dates.   I paid around $11 
per tube, a few as high as $17 per tube.

I built a 16-tube scrolling array that scans through an ascii text file 
and moves it from right to left across the array.

Those tubes are lots of fun.   But it takes a real commitment.   And a 
big power supply.    Got me an old HP-895A to power up that sucker at 175 VDC.

Strangely, I didn’t even get the notification.  I would have bought them.

Actually, I didn’t know until I received the response from gregebert.  Wonder 
why several of the googlegroups emails didn’t even make it.  ☹

Re: [neonixie-l] Re: B7971 DUSTOFF Board Interest

[Mahdi Al Husseini]

Hi, Peter,

Unfortunately I do not think I would be able to adapt the ZM1350 to the
B5971 with a custom adapter board, and the reason is due to the differing
resistor requirements between the two for their respective pin sets - it
would require a not insignificant adjustment to the main board to get
right. I feel your pain about acquiring ZM1350s... I have managed to
purchase twelve in the past several years, and nearly half of those were
defective in a significant way.

That is my video, but I didn’t know it before I clicked the link.

I have no idea why it says comments are disabled.   I wonder if someone 
complained that it wasn’t for kids?  You know Nixie Porn.

The only problem in doing that - as far as I can tell - is that the B5971 does 
not have the same number of segments, I believe that the centre vertical 
segment is one long piece from top to bottom as opposed to being made up of two 
parts.
Whilst it may be possible to handle the switching of this with some electronics 
it would be easier to do it in software - re-mapping all the characters to deal 
with the difference.

EXISTING PROJECTS
If your name is not listed below and you're interested, please let me know! 
Cost will be roughly the cost to manufacture and assemble + shipping, in the 
$300-$400 range for various boards.

DUSTOFF B7971 BOARD + ESP32 ADAPTER [ESP32 w/ WiFi Connectivity]

Based on the feedback provided, I have already put in another PCB manufacturing 
and assembly order for five DUSTOFF displays (no tubes). I am tracking the 
following individuals are interested (no commitment):

1.) Peter Doroba
2.) Jon Jackson (#2! + I owe working ESP32 back-end implementation of database)
3.) Wo Tu (board not assembled, kit version)
4.) Wayne de Greer (x2?)
5.)

Peter and Jon, your maintained interest has been (happily) noted, looking for 
continuing interest from Wo and Wayne.

GEORGIA TECH GRADCAP B5971 [ESP32 w/ WiFi Connectivity]
Kind of a neat update on this one, I was recently issued a design patent! I 
have one remaining (no tubes). Last I was tracking, the following individuals 
were interested (no commitment):

1.) William "Bill" Eckler

Will, please let me know if you're still interested.

ZM1350 8-TUBE BOARD [ESP32 w/ WiFi Connectivity]

I have two remaining (no tubes). Last I was tracking, the following individuals 
were interested (no commitment):

1.) Jon Jackson
2.) Paul Wolff

Jon and Paul, please let me know if you're still interested.

UPCOMING PROJECTS

STANFORD GRADCAP ZM1350 [ESP32 w/ WiFi Connectivity]
Especially excited about this one - uses a matrix array of ZM1350s to show off 
some neat moving graphics! Software is going to a pain and will largely have to 
be written from scratch, but should be a fun challenge. Design patent 
application filed on this.

POST-MODERN 8091 CLOCK [ESP32 w/ WiFi Connectivity]
The circuit board is up and running properly, but still trying to design an 
interesting and post-modern black anodized aluminum case for said clock... 
should we be neat when complete! I also only have 5 8091s, and am desperately 
searching for a 6th. Trying to turn this into a collaboration project with an 
industrial designer!

Re: [neonixie-l] Re: B7971 DUSTOFF Board Interest

[Peter Doroba]

I'm absolutely still interested in the DUSTOFF board.  I'm also interested 
in the ZM1350 board however I don't have any tubes and they seem very hard 
to obtain.  I do have a set of B5971 tubes.  Is it possible to adapt the 
ZM1350 board to B5971?  I guess what I'm asking is if it's a one piece 
board or if the displays are on a separate pcb.  If so would it be possible 
for me to design a display board for the B5971's that would plug into the 
driver board if it's a multiple board design.

 Yes, all of what you are requesting can be done seamlessly, though
 it requires a wifi network that you can connect to, to be available.
 Shouldn’t be a problem if you live at an airport!

 I have one other interested individual, but need one more in order
 to make putting another batch in worthwhile (the $300 cost is near
 production cost, so it’s a loss if I can’t sell at least of four of 
 five).
 I will let you know if that happens by email

Hi, Peter (and Bill and others),

I owe you all some information, which I will get to this weekend. I
apologize - I have been out of country for work related reasons, and have
been away from my workstation, for much of the past few months. Finally, I
have returned home. Be in touch soon.

 Yes, all of what you are requesting can be done seamlessly, though it
 requires a wifi network that you can connect to, to be available. Shouldn’t
 be a problem if you live at an airport!

 I have one other interested individual, but need one more in order to
 make putting another batch in worthwhile (the $300 cost is near production
 cost, so it’s a loss if I can’t sell at least of four of five). I will let
 you know if that happens by email

 Thanks!

 Video of the clock/display in action: B7971 Dustoff IoT Board -

 These new boards are outfitted with the improved ESP32s instead of
 ESP8266s. This is my last run of B7971 boards for the foreseeable 
 future.
 The cost would be $300 + shipping.

 Thank you.

Re: [neonixie-l] Re: B7971's on the bay....

[Richard Scales]

I have used the B-7971 smart sockets to make clocks which are easy to build
and easy to program. I've used similar technology with other multi segment
displays and have developed a controller board to drive them to make a very
effective clock. No need for a dedicated board for the tubes (just six
small ones!) .

I have enough of the very expensive parts (the tubes) but I missed out on 
the boards years ago. I do not fire up my old MM5311 based clock much, 
built in 1979/1980, as the multiplexing whine bothers me now. The six tubes 
are of course the most valuable parts on it. I do have plenty of ZM1022 and 
IN-12B clocks to keep me busy as well as plans to utilize some more of my 
Rodan Gr-111Pa tubes at some point. They are pin compatible with IN-14's 
but require a lower value anode resistor.

Re: [neonixie-l] Re: B7971's on the bay....

[gregebert]

Despite it's "ugliness", the 7971 does support alphanumeric characters 
whereas the 568m does not. That, along with their massive size, is why I 
made a clock out of them a few years ago, thankfully when those tubes were 
cheaper.

As far as beauty is concerned though, the 568m tubes are stellar. The other 
thing I found out is that despite being only 10mm taller than a 
much-cheaper IN-18, the 568m tubes appear much larger as well because the 
numerals are wider than the IN-18. I hope to have my 6-tube R|Z568m clock 
finished in a few months; the handmade wooden case is a lot of work, and 
I'm killing myself with all of the nostalgic junkbox parts I'm stuffing 
into it, such as illuminated pushbuttons from a vacuum-column tape drive 
and a 13-character/9-segment display.

whereas the 568m does not. That, along with their massive size, is why I 
made a clock out of them a few years ago, thankfully when those tubes were

As far as beauty is concerned though, the 568m tubes are stellar. The other 
thing I found out is that despite being only 10cm taller than a 
much-cheaper IN-18, the 568m tubes appear much larger as well because the 
numerals are wider than the IN-18. I hope to have my 6-tube R|Z568m clock 
finished in a few months; the handmade wooden case is a lot of work, and 
I'm killing myself with all of the nostalgic junkbox parts I'm stuffing 
into it, such as illuminated pushbuttons from a vacuum-column tape drive 
and a 13-character/9-segment display.

[Yohan Park]

If I had to spend $150 on a single tube I'd choose the R|Z568M from Dalibor.
Way more aesthetically pleasing than these B7971 tubes in my opinion.

That is a very nice clock. If only I had that kind of disposable income. I 
probably would have if I didn't fritter it away on smaller things.

 Yes, all of what you are requesting can be done seamlessly, though it 
 requires a wifi network that you can connect to, to be available. 
 Shouldn’t 
 be a problem if you live at an airport!

 I have one other interested individual, but need one more in order to 
 make putting another batch in worthwhile (the $300 cost is near production 
 cost, so it’s a loss if I can’t sell at least of four of five). I will let 
 you know if that happens by email 

 Thanks!

 These new boards are outfitted with the improved ESP32s instead of

 The cost would be $300 + shipping. 

 Thank you.

Hi, Peter. Actually, yes! Happy to say there was sufficient interest to
justify another batch. I will send out the details in the next few days.
Looking forward to having these manufactured!

That could be a picture of what I received! I think I bought three lots 
from that seller, and each lot had at least one broken tube - BUT, they 
were really cheap!

Re: [neonixie-l] Re: B7971

[Nick]

I certainly didn't buy all the 900 - I bought a few hundred, but so did 
others on this group - he wanted USD 20/tube - you could negotiate on bulk.

Tubes were not Jim's business - I think he acquired a warehouse for his 
coin business and these were in there in crates, wrapped up in old 
newspapers.

He just wanted them gone and shipped them out rammed into thin cardboard 
boxes with just the couple of sheets of newspaper between tubes - it was 
the same for everyone who ordered from him. He added 10% typically to 
compensate for losses - I had a load of shattered tubes (and the photos 
should you wish to cry a bit!).

Okay, count me in for a board.  Good luck with the training!  Seems we're

Re: [neonixie-l] Re: B7971 DUSTOFF Board Interest

[Mahdi Al Husseini]

Yes that’s certainly possible but are you sure you would like that? There
are more than 100 individual discrete transistors on the board, an equal
number of individual pin sockets, and nearly double that number of SMD
resistors.

Perhaps you really like soldering!

 Yes, all of what you are requesting can be done seamlessly, though it
 requires a wifi network that you can connect to, to be available. Shouldn’t
 be a problem if you live at an airport!

 I have one other interested individual, but need one more in order to
 make putting another batch in worthwhile (the $300 cost is near production
 cost, so it’s a loss if I can’t sell at least of four of five). I will let
 you know if that happens by email

 Thanks!

 Hi all,

 clocks/displays (without tubes), and would like to know who might be
 interested.

 Video of the clock/display in action: B7971 Dustoff IoT Board -
 YouTube
 

 These new boards are outfitted with the improved ESP32s instead of
 ESP8266s. This is my last run of B7971 boards for the foreseeable 
 future.
 The cost would be $300 + shipping.

 Thank you.

one day - we’ll see!

Yes, all of what you are requesting can be done seamlessly, though it
requires a wifi network that you can connect to, to be available. Shouldn’t
be a problem if you live at an airport!

I have one other interested individual, but need one more in order to make
putting another batch in worthwhile (the $300 cost is near production cost,
so it’s a loss if I can’t sell at least of four of five). I will let you
know if that happens by email

Thanks!

 These new boards are outfitted with the improved ESP32s instead of

 The cost would be $300 + shipping.

 Thank you.

Yes of course! Currently, it will immediately select the closest airport
based on longitude and latitude data, but it is very easy to adjust the
code to select a particular airport ID. I can help with that as needed. The
current code for TAF/METAR is attached for reference. If purchased, I will
adjust the code slightly, to support the ESP32 on the new boards.

Re: [neonixie-l] Re: B7971

[Bill Notfaded]

Robert you might be able to bounce the tube with some padding around it and 
unshort the shorted segments.  It's been done before.  One trick is to tape 
it to a broom handle so you can force the entire tube against something 
like a stack of paper and get good force evenly distributed without 
breaking the tube.  I've heard this has been successful more times than 
one.  Often two segments one would overlap the other and get stuck touching 
it.

I got my first board from Poly Paks sometime in the late 1970’s. Probably 
paid about $4 if I recall. One tube had shorted segments. I was about 15. 
Then in 1979 I decided  to build a clock and bought three boards from 
Meshna Electronics. After I assembled that, I decided I would get spare 
tubes that were sold as NOS from Meshna. Bought six of them which I still 
have wrapped in bubble wrap. I have a total of seven in a carton along with 
the six in the clock. Also I still have the defective one that still lights 
up but has problem segments. Thinking of selling it as a novelty as it is 
not really useful for a clock.

RE: [neonixie-l] Re: B7971

[Jeff Walton]

My first (8) came from PolyPaks or Burnstein-Applebee in 1971.  They shipped 
mounted in the board assembly and were wrapped up in paper.  I think that they 
were something like $8 for the set of two tubes.  That was the good old days, 
but alas, I only bought the boards with eight tubes.  My roommate an I were 
doing a senior college project for our EE classes.  My roommate finished his 
clock but I switched from the 7971s to NL-840s (CK8754) so that I could use a 
BCD to Decimal driver with 74141 chips.  I was lazy and didn’t want to create 
the font and driver circuit since there wasn’t a high voltage chip that could 
do the 15 segment output directly.  I was jealous of his clock for all of these 
years.  My tubes just sat in a box over the years of several house moves.  Fast 
forward to 2014 and now live happily in a MOD-SIX.   7 of the 8 tubes original 
survived with one tube that cracked due to the many moves over the years.

Did anyone in this forum get their 7971's from PolyPaks a long time ago 
(1970s/1980s) ? I recall they were inexpensive, and many were sold in pairs 
along with the socket/driver board after being scrapped from Lectrascan units.

 

Just curious how some of you acquired a large stash.

If you dont already have a clock or other device with 7971's, I suggest you 
make one. Even though these tubes are a bit ugly, they are so enormous and 
versatile that you will be pleased with it. And keep a few spares. I built an 
8-tube clock with 7971's a few years ago and I still like it, and wish I had 
time to add more features via software (it's RasPi based, so I'm limited only 
by time and creativity).

 

If you decide to sell, I've seen a lot of these being sold on Ebay for well 
over 100 USD, especially if you can show they are tested. You probably already 
have several messages from other neonixie members who want to buy some.

 If you dont already have a clock or other device with 7971's, I suggest

 If you decide to sell, I've seen a lot of these being sold on Ebay for
 well over 100 USD, especially if you can show they are tested. You probably
 already have several messages from other neonixie members who want to buy
 some.

RE: [neonixie-l] Re: B7971

[Michail Wilson]

My two cents….

I purchased all mine via ebay.
Many good and some I was scammed.

The best batch I got was wrapped in old newspapers dated back to 1968.  Seller 
poorly packaged and several broke.   I opened the box on video camera cause I 
could hear the broken glass as soon as I received the box.  He refunded me for 
the broken ones.  I still have many of the newspaper pages.  29cent burger or 
39cent cheeseburger, etc.

In all, I got over 100 from auctions over a 5+ year span.   Made clocks, 
traded, and sold most back on ebay.

My guess is that I paid an average of not much under $100 each.

[neonixie-l] Re: B7971 alpha-numeric display tube tester and projects

[Bill Notfaded]

I've done them a few ways... MOD-SIX OFC!  Also the smartsockets... you can 
basically make the length as long as you want to.  Smart sockets are really 
neat because they have the entire alphabet built right in with effects 
too!  Here's basic video of me testing one:

[neonixie-l] Re: B7971 alpha-numeric display tube tester and projects

[Richard Scales]

I display local wind speed and direction on them which I scrape from a web 
page. 
A recent project resulted in the tubes scrolling a message 'ITS JUST AFTER 
FIVE IN' and then displaying the name of a place in the world where it was 
between 17:00 and 18:00 - the idea came from a friend who wants to put a 
display in a 'bar' that he is building!
Personally I like seeing live data from the environment so things like 
temp, pressure, wind speed and direction interest me (I sail and dive 
locally). But, as you say, meaningful data rather than just a clock is 
quite exciting. Others have displayed RSS Feeds, web page visitor counts, 
random words or expressions etc.

As others have also said, if you ultimately decide to do nothing with them, 
I too could give them a good home!

[neonixie-l] Re: B7971 alpha-numeric display tube tester and projects

[Richard Scales]

I have used these via the Smart Socket concept which allows you to easily 
display numbers, letters, punctuation and user defined characters on any 
number of these tubes.
I have used 'smart' sockets for B-7971's as well as ZM1350, SP-101 and now 
16 segment LED 'starburst' displays.
My clocks display time, day, date, month, year, temperature, pressure, 
local wind speed and direction, random words and my latest variant also 
displays the name of a place in the world where it is 'Just After Five!'.
There is good support over at the Smart Sockets group and I have a stack of 
bare PCB's available if you fancy a go. All you need is a PIC16F690, some 
resistors and MPSA42's and you just squirt serial data to them to display 
data, define characters, chose transition effects, etc,etc (I'm a bit of a 
fan - does it show?). 
There are several transition effects including various fades and wipes as 
well as a bitwise breakdown and rebuild. All transitions can have their 
speed defined.
I have also 'developed' a controller using a WeMos D1 as well as a Teensy 
3.2 (mostly because I am not clever enough to code the whole thing on one 
WiFi enabled Micro) which does time sync, scrape data from the internet, 
read temp and pressure, send random words - or now names of places in the 
world where it is just after five. It also reads a PIR for shutdown of HV 
supplies when you are not watching (be kind to your tubes) as well as 
control neons for colons.
Ask me anything!

I've successfully "repaired" four 7971s with shorted segments.  All were in 
corners where diagonal segments overlapped at the ends.  Rough shipping can 
cause this.  I've posted photos on this forum showing the before and after, as 
well as the way I did it.  Others before me posted suggestions of how they did 
the same thing and convinced me of why I should not give up on an otherwise

The one-and-only "antenna" version of the b7971 I had in my 8-tube clock 
failed as shorted segments after 2 years of usage. Not sure if others have 
seen reliability issues with a particular tube style, but that's my

RE: [neonixie-l] Re: B7971's on the bay....

[Michail Wilson]

The first link shows a little poisoning on the underscore.

The second link is mine.  They went for $220 a tube.
I only posted for those people that really really really need one. (Did expect 
a purchase of more than 1 at a time.)

I will post more, but again, only meant for people that don’t want to wait for 
a good/fair price.  In fact, I recommend people NOT buy from me and should wait 
as better deals always show up, but they have to fear the ‘untested’ ‘asis’ 
auctions.

Another note is that I provide a video of each tube working in a clock and do a 
segment test to prove each are perfectly working.  And, I write on the tube in 
video and seal each box with my version of a seal so they know what they see is 
what they get.  Example…
“The following two videos are of your tubes.
First video shows testing of all six tubes and markings...
https://youtu.be/outZRHTZBao
Second video shows packaging of the six tubes and my form of seal
https://youtu.be/kL83gfLtJro”


Yes, I have a couple of clocks with the antenna tubes.

Re: [neonixie-l] Re: B7971's on the bay....

[Bill Notfaded]

One of the two tubes is the rarer antenna tube.  They made much less of
them.  I actually try and avoid them because they don't match my others.  I
have close to 30 tubes now and a bunch of clocks.  I think Michail almost
had enough of the antenna tubes to make a clock with them maybe?  I just
didn't buy any of the, to me, kinda off tubes.

Re: [neonixie-l] Re: B7971's on the bay....

[Jon Jackson]

You still have to be careful with these all-segments-lit-up photos, as I
think it would be a great way to disguise the fact that multiple segments
could be stuck on together.  I have of couple of B-7971s that have two
segments that come on together due to some kind of internal short, and no
amount of "banging" to the tube breaks up the short.

[Robert G. Schaffrath]

There was a post a little while ago about two Nixie's that appeared on eBay 
that are now priced $360 for two. The post was deleted so I cannot reply to 
it. I was wondering what is the test module that is powering the tubes 
demonstrating that all segments are functional? I tried a bit of Google 
searching and did not see anything. I have attached a picture from eBay and 
it is the tube on the left:

RE: [neonixie-l] Re: B7971's on the bay....

[Michail Wilson]

Wait…. I didn’t call anyone suckers (that I recall).

That said, I was the sucker when I bought mine years ago.  I guess I could now 
call the new people suckers – It’s my turn.   ☺

Great pic.  Nice to see the first tube is lit instead of only online for a 1 
and/or a 2.

Also, love the work area in the background.  Looks like mine.  Completely 
utilitized.

I sorta did too Richard.  I was late to the party and many of you here know me 
and know I was on a quest for the big B beginning a few years back.  Thanks to 
patience and work I've got a few B-7971 clocks and many tubes.  I'm here to say 
it can be done but it takes time.  Michail member here even helped me out back 
in fairly recent time.  I own some Mod-Six's now too and even a B-8971 clock 
thanks to Michael Barile and indirectly Carl O.  We love that cold cathode 
display don't we?

WE LIKE BIG TUBES!

[Richard Scales]

I actually put the question of an "Rb|7971" directly to Dalibor probably 
about a year or mote ago and whilst he agreed that the idea was 
interesting, it was not high up on his list of potential future projects 
due most likely to the relatively small demand for such a thing. I am sure 
that there are many on this group that would like to disagree - including 
me!
I set about collecting B-7971's instead which I have managed to do and 
fortunately I was able to do so at an acceptable (to me) price point 
(though still ridiculous).
There may indeed be the odd 'bargain' still to be had and I still get a 
little excited when I see them come up for sale but I have (mostly) tamed 
my hoarding instinct now thank goodness.

I saw them when they first appeared. I didn't need them and thought the 
price was actually pretty good compared to prices in the USD$175 range only 
a few weeks ago. There are various multi-tube devices for sale now and they 
are priced around USD$120 or so per tube.

It is hard to believe those prices. I have noticed other eBay prices have 
gone up too. IN-12's are suddenly rather "expensive" compared to last fall. 
Of course, if this stimulus bill does not work too well and a lot of people 
are looking for cash, there may be a lot of fire sales on stuff like this.

Re: [neonixie-l] Re: B7971's on the bay....

[SWISSNIXIE - Jonathan F.]

Personally i noticed a price-rise in alot of items on ebay, not just nixies or 
tubes. I follow alot of searches of vintage tech and noticed that items are 
selling alot more expensive than a half year ago... Prices for nixies, huge 
tubes(decorative), other displays, radiation related items, gemstones 
meteorites minerals etc.

For a example, trinitite, fused sand by atomic explosions sold almost tripple 
the price in the last weeks compared to a year ago. 

maybe more people with money become geeks :-) or just the fear of "last 
remaining quantity"

RE: [neonixie-l] Re: B7971's on the bay....

[Michail Wilson]

The problem with ebay is that if the tubes are bad, ebay will force the seller 
to take them back.  So, untested and sold as-is doesn’t matter to a buyer 
anymore.

$150 is not bad.  I’ve seen them sell for as much as $300 on ebay.

When I saw them going up, I couldn’t help but post my own.  I mean at 200-300, 
I can’t find myself holding on to them.  So, I posted them at $250.

If someone really wants one, they can buy from me.   I don’t recommend it.  I 
even answer peoples questions in that they should wait as they come up cheap 
often.  Some simply can’t wait.
