RE: [neonixie-l] Is it just me?
Bill, Not sure which 8 tube thing you’re talking about since the link wasn’t provided; however, I think you mean the black clock with 8 x B-7971. If so, then, heheh, I have one. It is the Cogwheel design clock. I actually went through the process of making one (sourcing the case, etc). Let me know if you need any info. More funny is that I also got the Elegoo Saturn. I’ve only printed the rook. Yes, the resolution is great. I assume you also got the uv cure/washing station as well? It sits waiting for me to give it a real job. As for the GC-1005, I have one that was cheaper, but did have a problem. Easy fix. As for the SP-352, I have plenty if you really need one. I have found it best to contact sellers directly to purchase and they will negotiate a better price than the high prices they’re asking on ebay. Of course I normally try to buy them all.

Michail- The weird shenanigans with auctions I see it every day. You gotta look at the history. You're 100% right. Many auctions if there isn't make offer or a good price I just move on unless it's something I really want then if it is I'll message them.

Re: [neonixie-l] Is it just me?
I agree with Paul. We need a pinned thread about this. Also Paul I'd be willing to part with some tubes for one of your single tube clocks maybe with some tube boards but I can order them since you've made them open source basically. I love your single tube clock. It's really f'in cool stuff! Your website is super cool too! I can't tell you how many times I've googled for some weird tube and guess who's got them on his site? Hehe props. It's nice when some of us can be references for others. I wish I had more time but work is crazy busy right now. I got to Scottsdale Barrett Jackson this past week on first day and last... I love cars but I think neon is even bigger fancy. I haven't unboxed it yet but I brought that 8 tube 7971 clock and wanna see how it's made. It might be a one off since no one really recognized it. I'm kinda psyched. I preordered a big 3D resin printer called Elegoo Saturn during their Kickstarter where they raised over 4M. I'm hoping I can make some larger nixie tube cases and also other stuff like missing feet for test gear etc. The resolution is legit. Unlike many 3D printers you really can't see the layers and it's finally something you can afford to buy. There was a time when eBay was just too many things to consider but it seems these days it's look and see if anything neat comes up. I bought a couple Heathkit GC-1005's with a couple spare sets of SP-352 this week. That's my buys this week. I thought $100 each was great price for the clocks in mint condition? The Babcock Beckman were 60$ for set of 3 working. The clocks aren't flickering either.

Wow, that all looks original, which is impressive. It must weigh a ton. Ask me how I know ;-).
