Re: [neonixie-l] Re: 26 In18 Tubes
Hi Tony, I see what you are saying now that I am at a PC. Is there another shipping provider that would work better internationally? I am happy to ship with whoever. My plan was to use a Flat Rate box for domestic shipping.

Buying a box of untested tubes for $1000+ seems like a terrible bet to me! Thankfully I am out only $400 and might be able to recoup a few bucks on the one good tube and the tester I built.

I really don't know. I am a bit disappointed it didn't work out. I did enjoy building the tester kit so no loss there. I am in the hole about $400 for the case of tubes so that's a bit of a hit, but not nearly as bad as it could have been.

Nice! That's pretty close. Maybe we can meet up and see if I have a case of duds or not. Hoping I can find a someone nearby with a plasma globe to try that test first. Thanks!

[neonixie-l] Re: 26 In18 Tubes
Hi Terry, The guy did have a LOT of neon sign manufacturing materials and other equipment. He was definitely either some sort of professional or deep into electrical/electronic hobbies. I suppose they could have been castoffs for sure but the date codes and other markings match across the lot. The lowest hanging fruit seems to be the plasma ball proximity test.

[neonixie-l] Re: 26 In18 Tubes
I don' know the history on them at all, I rescued them from a garage sale in my neighborhood. The pins do seem to have a little corrosion in some cases and in some cases they are not true and perfectly straight. I am going to try and track down a plasma globe to see if I can see any signs of life and go from there. Thanks for the replies!
