Hi all, Out of curiosity, I took a look at some old Burroughs nixie tube price lists, and took the prices (1-99 pcs) to an inflation calculator (1963->2023). Here are some highlights:
B-4991 (Miniature, $68.00) -> $677.10 B-7094 (Jumbo, $45.00) -> $448.08 B-4032 (Miniature, $33.00) -> $328.59 B-5971 (13 Segments, $16.75) -> $166.79 6844-A (Standard, $11.00) -> $109.53 B-9012 (Pixie, $5.00) -> $49.79 I know that these tubes were made pretty much exclusively for military/non-consumer applications, but it's still interesting to see just how expensive nixies were in reasonable quantities. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
