Bill, I'm glad you got the tubes you wanted; however, I am a little surprised that you didn't take me up on my offer of $1000 plus shipping for six tested tube when you contacted me directly.
As for the 5971's, thanks for mentioning that they were on ebay. I've been searching for quite some time and it turns out my search was for 'B-5971' and that doesn't work for '5971 nixie'.

It's not a scam of some kind. I bought the tubes on Monday night. I've been fighting with the other bidder over a bunch of auctions. It was my birthday Monday night and I wasn't going to let him win that one even though it cost me as much as my new Rigol mso5000 oscilliscope. I way over paid but I just might do it to him again on the other two. I also found another secret source for cheaper b7971's but they're getting scarcer and scarcer and it's hit or miss too. I bought 2 more last night for 150$. Month ago I got 6 for 400$ total and 2 for 250$ total from two different people. I'm working on a new smartsocket array and just bought a new mod-six from Michael... Hopefully shipping this week! I also have a v8-08 mod-six that's older. I think 7971's are going to become the next 568's. I love the Nixie glow but being able to make something besides numbers is priceless to me. Maybe it's the computer scientist in me... Idk? I love that b8971 clock too. There are some b5971s on eBay now... Anyone built a mini one? I've seen board Gerbers on the net for them.
