I had a catalog too from Radio Shack as they were also owned by Tandy. The prices from Allied even then were not the greatest. They were really aimed at businesses that could simply write off the cost as a business expense. The only thing I ever bought from Allied were some special Chicago Miniature light bulbs that I could not find anywhere else. Looking at the price of the NL-8422, which is basically the same as an IN-12, that $15.75 was about a days pay at minimum wage. I would have had to deliver a lot of newspapers to afford just one. Of course even now I would spring for an NL-7037 if I could find one. Two inch character height - wow! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
