One seller (0 feedback, newly registered) is selling a late model (11/1991) 7-06M, same type as the one in my blog, for $110 Buy It Now + $80 shipping. I purchased a 44-tube Elektronika (the in-between size) from him the other day. So I can't vouch for his reliability yet as he is just shipping the clock today. His new listing is item 130721977083. Even if this was one of the last ones made, it still has 20 years of use on it and could benefit from many of the things I listed on my blog as part of the restoration work I performed. You might want to also get a single NOS IV-26 and a 3 clip leads, and jumper the 2 filament pins from an installed tube to the new tube, and any one of the anode pins the same. That will let you compare old tubes to a new tube, side-by-side, to help you decide if a complete swap is in order. If you care about dim mode, check it as well because tubes that seem acceptable in bright mode can have dots that barely light in dim mode. For folks in the NYC area, I might be able to guide / assist you if you do a restoration, or I could do the whole checkout and restoration for a smallish fee. Otherwise, feel free to ask questions / post comments on my blog entry and I'll respond there. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
