Well, I could think that money (or more precisely lack of it) is a good enough reason but there is space for disagreement there :-) On Friday, April 7, 2017 at 8:58:56 AM UTC-3, Alic wrote: > > Yeah, it's really beyond me why anyone would pay money for anything else > than the famous trio (zm104

Yeah, it's really beyond me why anyone would pay money for anything else than the famous trio (zm1042/z5660m, IN-18 and Dalibor's RZ568M) when everyone knows that size is all that matters and these 3 tubes is all you need - ever! :-) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to th

It is really about preferences. NL tubes have really fine anode mesh made of thin wire, and Z566Ms have hexagonal, sturdy mesh cut out from thin plate. I have few american tubes and I'm in love with their transparency and visibility of digits. On the other hand, Z566Ms have better digit shape. T

I agree. There are much nicer, larger tubes for the same price, but to each their own I suppose. On Apr 6, 2017 1:21 PM, "Nicholas Stock" wrote: > They went for a ridiculous price...512 for 12 tubes. The NL821's went for > over 600 > > That's madness. > > Sent from my iPhone > > > On Apr 4,

Wow. 'just goes to show that things are worth what someone's willing to pay. They're nice tubes & all, but zm1040 & z566m's sell for similar prices and have 50% bigger digits. Chalk this one up to pent up demand. They're available for much less if you're patient. -- You received this mess

Madness is when you have regrets that you didn't bid on a ridiculously-overpriced nixie... .then you have feelings of guilt so you buy something unusual for the project you'll never have time to build -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l

Well, I've been looking for these for over 2 years now! Maybe I don't know the right sources. I even put a message on here and no-one was willing to sell or trade these nixies. Maybe the NL-807 is not that common anymore after all. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the

I agree, I can't figure out the market on there sometimes. I mean it's obvious why the larger rare ones go for a ridiculous amount, but I can't imagine paying more than $10 each for these. On Fri, Mar 31, 2017 at 10:31 AM, Nick wrote: > Odd really - they're a nice tube, but that's a lot of mone

Odd really - they're a nice tube, but that's a lot of money for those. Nick (not the Pharma one) -- 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 neonixie-l+unsubs
