The 5971's do seem pricey, but as we have learned, some buyers may be willing to greatly overpay. -------- Original message --------From: Nicholas Stock <[email protected]> Date: 3/28/19 9:08 AM (GMT-06:00) To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [neonixie-l] TESTED 4 Nixie Tubes Burroughs B-7971 3½" tall 14-segment character Those 5971’s are a bit steep.....Sent from my iPhone> On Mar 28, 2019, at 07:02, Michail Wilson <[email protected]> wrote:> > 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.

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.> > Best Regards,> > Bill> > -- > 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].> To post to this group, send an email to [email protected].> To view this discussion on the web, visit https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/neonixie-l/60945898-0fa9-4c02-83f5-9eb6b73e965f%40googlegroups.com.> For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout.> > -- > 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].> To post to this group, send an email to [email protected].> To view this discussion on the web, visit https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/neonixie-l/011f01d4e56e%24dab3b280%24901b1780%24%40com.> For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout.-- 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/F0548528-6CDE-48E2-9014-DDD3D41CBA37%40gmail.com.For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout.
