Thanks!

at around £200, which would include postage to anywhere.
If you're interested, let me know what letters you'd like displayed,
and I can send

Hi folks,
Just joined the group, after meaning to for ages! I caught the Nixie bug
last year
and have been fascinated with them ever since, although I'm more interested
in the actual construction of the tubes (also love Panaplex displays). The
only thing
I've actually built* with* a Nixie was a
