[neonixie-l] What happend to all the ebay nixies.

2012-04-18 Thread dr pepper
Having just looked around ebay to get the type number of the last load
of numitrons I bought I realised that theres hardly any.
Are these devices finally drying up, might be worth holding on to mine
for a bit then.
Sovtube was shipping them by the 1000's, either its just a quiet
period or these ukranians are running out.
