That's great! I remember seeing a picture or video that display - or one
very much like it.
I bought most of my B-7971 tubes between 2002 and maybe 2005, and I think I
paid $20-$30 each. A seller who seemed to have a LOT of them, would put
them into the shipping box in their original

I have a B7971 that doesn't want to light up - the ends of some segments
will glow, but none will illuminate along their entire length. I have had
tubes in the past that were probably a bit gassy, and they cleaned up after
running for a few minutes to a few hours.

I actually received my Geekclock kit from Ray, but he never sent the
"accessory kit". That was only a $35.00 loss for me - many folks lost a lot
more money. There were months of emailed excuses, then it all just

is a bit spotty, and most of my ham radio experience is not with TTL level

Good Afternoon,
For the last couple of years, I have avoided giving eBay my bank info and
SS #. I always use PayPal on line, mainly because in my simple mind,
keeping my information in one place, rather than spreading it out all over
the web lowers the odds of having that info stolen. Several
I think I have found the tubes that I need. Thanks to everyone who
responded. I feel better now!

Well, This may be the dumbest question of the year - and it's still very
early.
I packed my MOD-SIX_7971 clock and it's tubes away so I can do some
extensive remodeling. The tubes were carefully packaged in a separate
box.Unfortunately, my help dropped a large, heavy box on the tube box, and
I like it - and I even have the "welding ability"

That could be a picture of what I received! I think I bought three lots
from that seller, and each lot had at least one broken tube - BUT, they
were really cheap!

Hello,
I have about 40ea, HSR-170 magnetic reed switches. Here is a link to the
manufacturer's web page:
https://www.hsisensing.com/product/hsr-170r/
These are fairly large - the glass envelope is about 40mm long.
If anyone can use some or all of them, make me an offer.
Thanks. 73,
Jim
The receiver has been sold. Thanks.

Seeing the "huge (and expensive)" panaplex clock, reminded me that I've
wanted 6 or 7 ZM 1350s.
Is there anyone still selling them, and if so, are they now insanely
expensive?
Thanks. Jim

My two-tube clock is a V5.3 as well, and has been running for just over 15
years. It uses 120VAC, with no external transformer, so I guess that's now
considered "dangerous". However, I'm still alive.
The inverted 2 has always bothered me as well, and a lot of the "turn-key"
clocks seem to use

Hi Robert,
HI Robert,
Which OZ2CPU clock do you have? I just built 2, V1.08 clocks (ca 2005-ish),
running IN-18 tubes, and V5.8 firmware. Our mains frequency is very flaky,
and I was being slowly driven nuts by the clocks sometimes gaining several
seconds per day. Maybe the long-term average
HI John,
I just saw this posting, so sorry for the delay. I have a two-digit B7971
clock that I built from a kit about 15 years ago. It runs directly off of
the 110V mains, so there is no switching supply involved here - just a
transformer, rectifier and some filter caps on the clock's power
The tubes have been sold. Thanks!

I checked on eBay, and was appalled at the current asking prices for these
tubes - and I was even more surprised that some had been sold. The cheapest
one was $177.00, shipped, and there were two more auctions for $250.00 and
$300.00 per tube.

One more thing:
I have some IN-8 tubes. Some kits mention IN-8-2 tubes, which I believe
have decimal points. I assume that if one doesn't want a decimal point,
then the choice of tube does not matter. Am I right?
Thanks again. Jim

Thanks! He offers a "Remote Tube" kit that is exactly what I'm looking for,

Now, I have to figure out exactly what to do...

Good Morning,
I joined this group about 2004 after buying (and actually receiving) a
couple of Geekclock kits (I never received the Accessory Modules, though).
I built one, and sold the other kit.
I've also had a two-tube B7971 clock running for ~15 years, and I built a
MOD-6 several years
Hi,
I knocked my thermometer off of a table, and broke a ZM1000. If you could

Thanks to everyone who took the time to reply. I've got some great

Hi everyone,
I have several nixie clocks, including two clocks that I built about 12
years ago that use the mains frequency for timing. I live in a semi-rural
area, and during this time of year, I lose power quite frequently due to
lightning strikes. This can be just a "blip", or it may last
The tubes have been sold. Thanks!
