Cool, I really like the modular design!

I reduced the audibility of the acoustic noise by putting the clock inside 
a box made of 1/4" Plexiglas.   This did not do much to reduce the RFI...

Re: [neonixie-l] NL-7094 Price Craziness

[Robert G. Schaffrath]

That is the position I am coming from. I already have a six tube B-7971 
clock that I built in 1979-1980 so at the moment I do not need another of 
that design.  And I have been playing ZM1022's, IN-12's and GR-111p's so 
already have more clocks than I know what to do with at the moment LOL. I 
purchased the six NOS tubes in 1980 as spares for the clock I had built 
assuming eventually the Ultronics tubes might have to be replaced. I have 
been toying with the idea of building a more modern B-7971 clock, most 
likely from a kit if I can find one, but that is just something in the back 
of my mind. If I do, I will most likely cannibalize the tubes from my old 
clock and I will still have spares. I do not use the old clock much as the 
whine from the multiplexing bothers me now. It didn't when I was younger 
but now I find it annoying.

Maybe some people (including myself) want to preserve them for the 
future? I know there are many opinions about this, but I don't get all 
this recent activities along the lines of "people should not sell Nixie 
tubes for high prices" and "people should not put Nixie tubes in boxes."


I personally think that people should enjoy their Nixie tubes, and that 
comes in many facets. Build a clock? Go for it! Want to preserve and 
document them? Sure thing! Just let everybody choose their own way :)

Re: [neonixie-l] NL-7094 Price Craziness

[Robert G. Schaffrath]

As of a few minutes ago there were 16 bids and the price was up to USD$356. 
Absolutely crazy but realistically there is nothing comparable being made 
currently and the Russians did not produce them either.

I am going to have to look at putting the six NOS Burroughs branded tubes 
that I posted pictures of here a while back and my used "antenna" variety 
B-7971's in a safe deposit box. At the current bid price, that is over 
USD$1200 sitting in a box on the shelf, each individually wrapped in bubble 
wrap. Late last year I put a Post-It note on the box indicating there were 
valuable electronic parts in the box in the event something happened to me. 
No one would have a clue what they were sitting on. At least now my sisters 
would hopefully take a pause instead of tossing the box out.

Hi Robert, thanks for your correction, yes it's ZM1210, not ZM1020, I have 
correct it, thanks.

Thank you Paul, we're all good, stay at home over three weeks already, hope 
we can get through this asap.

Yes, I put pictures together manually, it takes times but I really enjoyed 
it, there were some issues of the picture server yesterday but fixed now.

[neonixie-l] Re: Nixie Calculator Bundle...

[Mark Moulding]

Since the description says that the displays light and respond to the 
keyboard, it sounds like quite a lot of the system is working - it might 
not take too much to completely restore it.  Personally, I think it would 
be a shame to destroy this - at this point exceedingly rare - piece of 
history, if it's not beyond hope of salvage (which I'm pretty sure it's 
not)...
