Nick, I encountered a 7% breakage and 2% defect rate. Abysmal. That may be in line with most who had bought tubes from him in quantity.

Of the shipments I received, I lost about 20, but he always packed extra to account for "wastage". http://www.desmith.net/NMdS/Nixies/DSCN1855.JPG Yes, the newspaper was the only packing - the tubes were close packed in pathetic boxes in batches of 100 or so. It almost made me weep. Some years
