Yep, these IN-18 are way too expenive, especially since they are still
widely available.
For only a couple hundred more you can get giant dalibor 568 tubes.

Interesting to look at the Millclock videos.?? Very strikingly similar to
Dalibor's process and techniques.????There may be room for an IN-18 type tube
to come to market but the pin configuration is very different and the base is
excessively tall.????Dalibor matched the Z568 pinout so that existing designs
could use either.?? His price is more in line with what a Z568 should sell
for.?? The ZIN18 is almost twice the going rate for an IN-18.????It's taken
Dalibor about 5 years to master the QC issues and he is very transparent about
the obstacles that he has overcome.?? I wonder how the Millclock startup will
deal with the same physics.????Having said that, I hope that we can see new
nixie production at a good price point.??Jeff??

Subject: Re: [neonixie-l] I honestly think that the pricing on Dalibor's Nixie tubes is more than fair. Six hours of manual labour per tube, on average. JensOn
