Of course, if something goes wrong and the money gets essentially wasted, no one can blame you if you spent it on research, and you don't risk your money. But you start with promising people something in return for their money. Being a good kickstarter requires you to provide some information about how is the project going as often as possible - so you have to focus not only on your work, but also on managing whole feedback.
I personally would buy some large tubes if they were no more than 30$ and with high life expectancy (under proper operation with standard cleansing routines). But two questions: 1. Are you going to make replicas of existing tubes or some new product based on general trends in nixie clock societies? 2. If they are going to be replicas, are they going to be exact replicas - including the base? As far as I understand the reason why R|Z568Ms made by Dalibor Farny have a metal base is because making the base in original way is simply too hard/too expensive to make. For me this is something that would stop me from buying a new tube - I prefer the original tube bottoms. Also if they are going to be new tubes based on what is popular today - there is room for some additions and/or modifications. For example - currently the king and queen of tubes are Z568M and IN-18, they both have quite thick, hexagonal anode mesh - I think it is worth trying to make a tube with wired anode, like ZM1177 or B-5441 have, or at least cutting the mesh even thinner. In my opinion tubes with wired anode have better visibility and just look better when viewed from short distance. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
