[neonixie-l] In the land of wanton greed...

I actually scored a lot of 11 IN-13 today for a total shipped, taxed(grr) amount of just under $90. A rare thing indeed these days. Not sure what I'll do with them right now, but they can keep the few I already have company for a while. Or maybe I should put them in a safe deposit box. IF they

Okay, so I can confirm I'm not the only psycho with crazy aspirations... Using U glass seems like a very cool idea. Watching Dalibor's videos is mesmerizing and I can't imagine the frustration and hours of trial and error he went through. But that's half the fun, right? A diff pump or turbopump

[neonixie-l] Prices, seriously?

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

Those things are useful for those of us who like to play with actual high voltage. You know, like 10kV and up! That item is almost certainly a trigger device. Looks like an SCR or something, marked 12V on the end with small coils in the clear plastic underneath is. Those caps can start your hea

It might've been 50 but I think it was a hundred. Cost was $149. Not so much any more! The current prices are stupid ridiculous. On Mon, Mar 29, 2021 at 11:19 PM tntmod54321 wrote: > Wow 100, how much were they? > > On Mon, Mar 29, 2021, 11:46 PM Nick Andrews > wrote: >
