Is it just me, or did everyone notice that IV4 and IV-17 have run out of
supplies on ebay?

If I had a spare $million, my retirement dream is to go to Thailand,
and set up a real production-quality Nixie and perhaps other vacuum
tube factory. It wouldn't have to make money, just be sustainable on
its endowment and modest sales. Such a thing might be what it takes
to "crash the market."

I've used line frequency for decades, and I only touch those clocks
twice a year. And usually that's only to adjust the hour (Daylight

I've looked at this same problem myself. It depends on how much of a time
nut you are. In Europe, and in the US, line frequencies are its adjusted
whenever it hits 20s/10s of error.

I do agree and I currently own three Z568M/Z5680M clocks, all from Jeff Thomas.
They really are in so many ways the perfect large nixie, proportionally as well
as filament shape. I think the IN-18 tubes are a smaller, more affordable
version and I've given several of Jeff's Nixichron clocks as

I might be in the minority here, but I still think the Z568M Z5680M's
are by far the most attractive and properly proportioned Nixie I've
ever seen.
CD47's may be big, but the shapes of the digits are too stretched out
and not very proportional IMHO. Just look at the number 4 cathode,

Out curiosity, do you think that this zeal to purchase rare tubes extends to
the similarly-rare F9020AA? We may see a bunch of them becoming available
on ebay soon, owing to the recent discovery of a large lot at an estate
sale.

I think I'll wait a few years, then it will be more like a retirement

I have propositioned Jeff several times to buy his CD47 Nixzilla (the original
Nixzilla, literally!) but so far he hasn't been able to part with it. I can
completely understand why, the tubes are really something.
In the meantime I'm on the hunt for some Thompson F9020AA flat nixies...

I'll agree to disagree with you Dieterscarcity plays a role in price,
the less-scarce the item, the cheaper it becomes. Put 1000 new Rodan CD-47's
on the market at once and suddenly your asking price will drop.

I think for most nixie tube clock builders, then the tube size plays an
important factorfor instance the Z5680 clock I have is visually more
striking than either the IN-18, IN-14, IN-12 etc clocks that I
haveespecially to those that have never seen such clocks before. I've
always dreamed of
And folks question me as an avid collector of vacuum tubes when I paid
around $1000.00 for TWO Rodan GR-414's. Beauty and collect-ability, is
in the eye, and pocket book, of the beholder.Ira

If someone would copy a Wurlitzer Juekbox (same compexity than making nixie

well, I think some of our very own group members might be close to a

only the digit height? For me, very old or pe
Well,
I followed the prices for years. I remember the day when I bought one CD47 for
exaclty 25 EUR.
I believe that in 3-5 years the price will have been doubled the price now.
I am sure it will raise over 1000 EUR the next year.
Price will crash! Yes, but it will crash up, not crash down.

Somebody needs to start making these again.then the market will crash!

Let's face it, this was crazy. I went along till 400EUR, but that was

2000EUR, and back then I tought that was expensive...

Hi All,
I posted a while back about trying to make my own Nixie Tubes, and was
able to get a few other people to help me out. I got delayed trying to
source all the right material (especially the Dumet feedthrough for
the base), but am making progress now.
Does anyone know what the insulation mate
