Keith,
Photo editing and a dark background can make anything look spectacular. The IN-18 is a nice looking tube that is still in some supply. Having said that, the price of tubes in the open market is $40-$60 each on ebay, so if there is already $250-$350 tied up in just the tubes, use that as a consideration of what a clock costs. There are a lot of nice kits out there that are feature rich and easy to build. You can purchase kits for $100-$150 from places like PV Electronics and there are cases available as well. “Arm and a leg” description is a relative term. When it comes to nixie clocks, the larger the display tube, the higher the premium. The prices are likely not going to get better as the tubes continue to get scarce...

I was looking at in-18 size nixie tubes. When looking at some the brightness is not that bright. So far I found this one to be a brightest unless it's just Photoshop or because the ambient lighting around it is darker. Does anyone have any recommendations for where to buy one that has a good reputation but does not cost an arm and a leg like this does? $500 is a bit much <http://nixieshop.com/in-18-clock.html> http://nixieshop.com/in-18-clock.html -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
