A direct replacement for the IN-18 is a game-changer and a wise move. I dont need any at this time, but I will certainly buy one to test it out as a spare. Right now I only have one spare, and I've been lucky that all of the IN-18's in my 14-tube clock still work just fine.--On Wednesday, January 22, 2025 at 7:31:53 AM UTC-8 Keith Moore wrote:Use your digit style. Make them different than the IN-18. Leave the IN-18 to legacy for future collectors. It is never a good idea to copy exactly. Instead, create a compatible design that future collectors can appreciate as a different, but compatible design. That's my opinion.On Wednesday, January 22, 2025 at 2:37:25 AM UTC-5 Sadudu wrote:After successfully mass-producing the DGM01 Nixie tube, we received extensive feedback from our customers. A significant number of inquiries were about whether our tubes are compatible with IN18 clocks. Therefore, I am considering producing a new IN18 Nixie tube that will feature the same base and digit sequence as the original IN18. This will ensure it can be directly used in all IN18 clock designs.The new IN18 will match the original IN18 in size and packaging, allowing for direct replacement. The estimated price will be around $59 per tube include shipping, with significant discounts for bulk orders (over 100 tubes). We plan to produce 5,000 Nixie tubes annually (including DGM01 and IN18 and 58mm tube and 83mm large tube) in 2025.
I have a question: Should I stick to the original IN18 digit design, or keep the current digit style of the DGM01? Based on customer feedback, many find the DGM01's digit design more aesthetically pleasing than the IN18.
Additionally, if anyone is interested in the new IN18 tubes, please let me know! We will provide special discounts for early supporters.
