Keep car with the figures! The plastic is no plexi-glass, but a more breakable plastic. Black cardboard/paper between the digits deminishes blurring of the neighboring decade. eric Van: neonixie-l@googlegroups.com [mailto:neonixie-l@googlegroups.com] Namens gregebert Verzonden: donderdag 1

Yep, it's gone nuts. Beware the IN2, no Hg, so lifetime can be short and their QC left a little to be desired. On Thu, Jun 10, 2021 at 1:47 PM Nick Andrews wrote: > SO it's getting beyond ridiculous now. Over $6ea for IN-17 now? Really? > Quadrupled in price since I got a hundred of them

SO it's getting beyond ridiculous now. Over $6ea for IN-17 now? Really? Quadrupled in price since I got a hundred of them just a few months ago. IN-12 are psychotic too. Just bought hundred IN-2 and waiting on them. Guess I'm SOL on getting some big tubes unless I want to trade a pistol or some

I took the bait today and bought the version with the assembled PCB. Total cost is $38.11 US including shipping. I cant even procure the individual parts for that price. I'm pretty sure the DS3231 is fake, so it's still a bargain even if I have to replace it . On Sunday, January 17, 2021 at 6:1
