Re: [neonixie-l] Re: Strange Nixie Sources?

2016-03-08 Thread Jonathan F.
I tried alot of these sites, most are useless. But a few seem serious. I have 
got a offer for a NL-7037 nixie tube, they want 210$ per tube. Compared to ebay 
prices for the Z568/Z5680 that is not really a bad price, and you see a 7037 on 
ebay, but lots of 568's.

I will ask them how many they have,maybe i can drop the price a bit :)

I still keep going, in hope that i will find some of the "real hard to get 
ones" like a B7094.

I got a offer for a B-8091 Nixie tube from one of this comapnies. But
400$ for that tube, nope..sorry


the sites running the NATO = NSN number stuff are looking to sell parts 
to someone who really needs that specific part (including perhaps the 
inspection stamp) to maintain an expensive piece of kit - like an 
air-plane.  It they can find a part for X hundred bucks and it will pass 
inspection them the unit can live another day.

2016-03-02 Thread Jonathan F.
Yes it seems like you said. I send a bunch of requests out, mostly i get 
"we need more information about your company and use", so i suppose they 
wanna know this, to trade my adresses to companies who sell stuff, like if 
i reply " I have a car repair shop", they gonna send my adresses to car 
part suppliers. 

Whats really interesting is that i send a rfq to two companies, i got 
reply. Whats really weird is, these are litterally at the same location. 
There are just two little buildings in the middle of nowhere...


I don't had much luck about getting offers, but im keep looking, maybe i 
will be in luck one da :)

Perhaps it is an offshoot of the Military parts scan business.  there is 
occasionaly some military equipment that needs a part repleced, but it 
is so old that the part no longer exists, but a search on the NATO or 
FSN number turns up suppliers who claim to have them.  the NATO numbers 
look like 5970-01-- where the first group indicates what tipe of 
supply it is, and the second group indicates which NATO member assigned 
the number, and the rst of the number is a particular product.  (note 
the numbers are assigned for any commodity that might be bought 
repeatedly, one place I worked at we had a specific NATO number we had 
to use to get a certain size cardboard box to use for dead file storage.

Interesting that in the page you linked, the item name is "electron tube", 
but it's given in the site's "connectors" category. In my LED search, I've 
come upon a similar situation of a certain error that apparently originated 
in an OCR mis-read of a part number, that has been copied over and over to 
numerous "datasheet" sites. In this particular instance, absolutely nobody 
has a scan of the actual data online for the part number I seek... they all 
just keep reguritating the same wrong "short form" data that belongs to a 
different but similar part number. So not only is the part I want scarce 
and now practically unknown, anyone who came before me and bought up the 
last remaining stocks based on the available data, would have received 
parts that didn't match the data, unless they had a physical copy of the 
maker's original data book from the 1980s.
