Speaking of B-7971's, on a whim, I just did a search on eBay for the rarer cousin of the B-7971, the B-8971. Amazingly, I found one. As I haven't bid on this type of tube in a while, I'm not sure what the going rate is these days, but $200 seems reasonable, given how rare they are.

Re: [neonixie-l] Slightly OT - 2kV voltage isolation?

Why not just make your own optocoupler? Fill a lexan or acrylic 10 cm tube with clear, slow-setting epoxy and then affix an IR led on one and a darlington phototransistor on the other end, with these two components serving as end plugs for the epoxy. Then paint the unit black with a low-voc

Wow is right... Rare item status will do that to the going price... Consider the going rate for Rodan Tubes, if and when they are ever offered again on Ebay. I imaging that they could easily go for $1200 each. A set of F9020AA's would probably fetch even more. -ub On Sun, Nov 28, 2010 at
