Maybe there is confusion. There is a Kickstater campaign for ZIN18 nixie tube production by millclock. It has a very detailed presentation and videos of tube manufacturing. My comments were for that campaign and information. -------- Original message --------From: Дмитрий Шевченко <[email protected]> Date: 2/16/19 9:14 AM (GMT-06:00) To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [neonixie-l] ZIN18 Hello, friends.Not so long ago, I developed a business plan for the production of nixie tubes.The cost of organizing production is $ 63500 when placed on the territory of Russia. Payback period 38 months. Profit Rate 16%If you interesting, I will put buisness plan here. Because I search for investment.P.S.On kickstarter possible fake account.Olga Kurilenko are Ukrainian actress. She is woman, but profile's photo are man. :-)On the kickstarter denied placement from Russia and Ukraine.The information and videos on kickstarter show a very interesting process and result. It is encouraging to see efforts like this to revive the manufacturing of nixies. The choice of IN-18 size digits is good, if you were picking an existing tube to offer. The size of the metal base seems too tall. It appears that there may be more in the base than just pins and a PCB. The proprietary socket arrangement may be good for the specific clock that you are offering but the idea of putting inexpensive and ESD sensitive chips into the base of a $100 nixie tube is a negative in my opinion. I think that you should consider having an option for a tube that is just a nixie that can drop-in existing applications for the IN-18. It would seem that 99% of your work is produce a beautiful tube and the effort to offer a standard pinout with direct interface to the nixie would require little extra effort. Could you reduce the height of the metal base by simplifying or does the glass pinch seal really take this much extra height? Hello,We sell tubes ( NOS Soviet tubes)from 2013 year and are for 6 years on the market.We decided to make a Nixie tube a long time ago, and we need few years to test all before presentation.So we want to have reputation and our reputation is important thing for us.About pinout, design, sizes, of course, we will develop something according customers feedbacks.Thank you for feedbacks and support.-- 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 [email protected] post to this group, send an email to [email protected] view this discussion on the web, visit https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/neonixie-l/0056f23a-08fb-4849-9cb1-4be2ee82a874%40googlegroups.com.For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout.
