I told this story here to the previous generation of readers...
In a facility where I worked for a few years back in the mid-1970s there was
also a two-rack-cabinet trigger tube monster.
Its task was to check the teletype data that was arriving over an HF radio
network. When [parity] errors were

I don't think kickstarter is a good idea to start a business. Of course, if
something goes wrong and the money gets essentially wasted, no one can
blame you if you spent it on research,

Yeah, I wouldn't rip it apart either. But I might sneaky make it into a
clock, so it could easily be put back. Or make a calculator for it. One
way or another I'd find a way to use that sexy pandicon.

Very cool and nice score! I'm totally envious!
I bought the remains of a nixie calculator from ebay a week ago. It
has an eight-digit pandicon-tube on it and is fully working. The Case
is missing.
It's still beautiful to me and i though i'd share this with you :)
Very interesting is the
By the way, the calculator in that TW link is the unit I

never bring myself to tear them apart for the Pandicon.

Dang I'm sorry I missed that! Nice find!

You never stated what you think the minimum quantity is (at $25 per
unit) to start making money.

I'd suggest you start with an IN-18 first, preferrably one that is
electrically and mechanically interchangeable.
If you can get the pin-to-glass seals to pass a helium leak-test, I'd say
you have cleared a major production hurdle.

Hmm, are you talking QA or QC?
By 'product engineer' you make it sound as if you think you can treat the
process like a 'recipe'. You are relying on experts in the various fields
required rather than having any direct knowledge yourself? High quality
components can make a high quality dud too
If you can indeed deliver on that promise you will *have no trouble*
selling a large quantity of tubes. However, given some of the pitfalls of
new tube manufacturing that Dalibor has encountered (and mostly solved)
then I wouldn't take this project on lightly.
What is your minimum threshold
At about $25 I would buy at least 12 to start. A serial factory built ISO qualified product would get lots of interest just to compete with the Russian suppliers who obviously have vast stores of ( now overpriced) older by the day nixies.
My 2 cents worth

I also agree with Terry S.
Dalibor is making excellent Nixie tubes and I think his quality is
excellent bar none. Watching Dalibor's video of the complete manufacturing
process is a thing of beauty.
If you can compete with Dalibor give it a run it would be an interesting
Nixie to see.
I wish
Hi Terry:) I understand your skepticism, after all, we have been accepting
high prices for large tubes for so long, honestly we have grown used to it.
Dalibor does an extremely great job as a "boutique" nixie tube builder;
think of his method as the Rolls Royce approach, hand-built, limited

Dalibor is already making very high quality tubes, and it took him years to
perfect his process. I'm skeptical of your claim of a sub $25 price. But if
you can produce them, you will surely find a ready market.

I'm a product engineer taking on a new project.
With current manufacturing methods, I'm able to manufacture In-18/Z568M
inspired nixie tubes, at a fraction of their market costs (sub 25 USD/pc).
I don't compromise on quality. hence, it will be built with parts mostly
sourced from the US, and
