9 x NL900 tubes just sold for $609 on eBay. That is insane. They're literally NL840's with a flat top. $609. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to neonix

Maybe someone won the lottery big time or they know something we don't? Perhaps they come with the fountain of youth or the answer to the question "What do you get when you multiply six by nine?" It's crazy! I've actually been contemplating if I should sell of a bunch of my rarer Nixies, saw a

Are you surprised?  It's like anything else that isn't made any more.  Collectable stuff is out of the price range of most hobbiests and it isn't getting any better with time.  There are a couple people on this forum that have bid prices to insane levels on auction items and then brag about it..

The first nixie clock I built was a two-tube design, though it's full of bodges and questionable design choices and would definitely not fit into a lightbulb. It uses two B-5855s, two DM160 VFDs, two K155ID1s, and a nodemcu for NTP. I suppose the electronics could be placed in the base of the bu
