Yeah,  that too.  And register a whole lot of machine guns before May 1986,
and file mining claims,  then patent claims to get the land transferred to
me before then too. And get someone to buy me a few B-17 and B-29s right
after the war.  And a few 62 Corvettes, and a Ferrari 250 or two...

RE: [neonixie-l] Re: B7971

[Jeff Walton]

My first (8) came from PolyPaks or Burnstein-Applebee in 1971.  They shipped 
mounted in the board assembly and were wrapped up in paper.  I think that they 
were something like $8 for the set of two tubes.  That was the good old days, 
but alas, I only bought the boards with eight tubes.  My roommate an I were 
doing a senior college project for our EE classes.  My roommate finished his 
clock but I switched from the 7971s to NL-840s (CK8754) so that I could use a 
BCD to Decimal driver with 74141 chips.  I was lazy and didn’t want to create 
the font and driver circuit since there wasn’t a high voltage chip that could 
do the 15 segment output directly.  I was jealous of his clock for all of these 
years.  My tubes just sat in a box over the years of several house moves.  Fast 
forward to 2014 and now live happily in a MOD-SIX.   7 of the 8 tubes original 
survived with one tube that cracked due to the many moves over the years.

Did anyone in this forum get their 7971's from PolyPaks a long time ago 
(1970s/1980s) ? I recall they were inexpensive, and many were sold in pairs 
along with the socket/driver board after being scrapped from Lectrascan units.

 

Just curious how some of you acquired a large stash.

RE: [neonixie-l] Re: B7971

[Michail Wilson]

My two cents….

I purchased all mine via ebay.
Many good and some I was scammed.

The best batch I got was wrapped in old newspapers dated back to 1968.  Seller 
poorly packaged and several broke.   I opened the box on video camera cause I 
could hear the broken glass as soon as I received the box.  He refunded me for 
the broken ones.  I still have many of the newspaper pages.  29cent burger or 
39cent cheeseburger, etc.

In all, I got over 100 from auctions over a 5+ year span.   Made clocks, 
traded, and sold most back on ebay.

My guess is that I paid an average of not much under $100 each.

Re: [neonixie-l] Re: B7971

[Nicholas Stock]

They're currently going for anywhere from 160 to 200 dollars on eBay. Pictures 
of them being tested will help. Too rich for my blood at the moment, but I have 
enough of them already :)

Best of luck selling them!

Cheers

I‘ve built 2 clocks using B7971. But now I dont have space for more.

[neonixie-l] Re: B7971

[gregebert]

If you dont already have a clock or other device with 7971's, I suggest you 
make one. Even though these tubes are a bit ugly, they are so enormous and 
versatile that you will be pleased with it. And keep a few spares. I built 
an 8-tube clock with 7971's a few years ago and I still like it, and wish I 
had time to add more features via software (it's RasPi based, so I'm 
limited only by time and creativity).

If you decide to sell, I've seen a lot of these being sold on Ebay for well 
over 100 USD, especially if you can show they are tested. You probably 
already have several messages from other neonixie members who want to buy 
some.

[neonixie-l] B7971

[Wo Tu]

I sorted out my collection of tubes and was surprised , how much B7971 I 
own.
Would like to sell some of these tubes. What do you think is a fair price 
for one tube , or for six tubes ?
