It's quite amazing how the large tubes list and often sell for such astronomical prices. Dieter's website has a pricelist from 1963, and the smaller tubes (5092) are *cheaper today* in absolute dollars than they were 50 years ago. That story changes for the big tubes with 2" tall numerals, whic

A convex lense and a front view Nixie tube, that sounds like fun! Keep us posted! Jens Am 29.09.2014 21:24, schrieb gregebert: It's quite amazing how the large tubes list and often sell for such astronomical prices. Dieter's website has a pricelist from 1963, and the smaller tubes (5092) are

Matt, you forgot about the B-7031, B-7032, B-7037, B-7038 (and their national Electronics versions), and the NL-934 (not sure if there is an equivalent Burroughs tube). All 50mm tubes ;-) Jens Am 30.09.2014 01:03, schrieb Matt: For the tube on the far right, how long does it take for tubes to
