Wow! I still have one of those boards, with sockets, and can populate it 
with two NOS tubes. To think those complete assemblies used to sell for 
USD$5 or less in the 1970's. Of course 10 years from now, this might look 
like a bargain. I am amazed that B7971's are now in the $200 range (and 
climbing). In my box of NOS spares, I have left a note to whomever may find 
it someday, if I should suddenly depart, to verify the value of them before 
deciding to toss the box. At the time I wrote the note they were going for 
around USD$175.

While I think they are very interesting, I cannot imagine someone making 
new ones or even that big a demand for them beyond a die-hard hobbyist. 
Nixie's were hard enough to power at 170V using low voltage power supplies 
but the NIMO's require over 1 kV IIRC. Plus all of the used ones I have 
seen had burned phosphor so the tubes would definitely require something 
like anti-poisoning or a "screen saver" to keep them from burning in as 
well. I do not see the phosphor having the same longevity as mercury doped 
Nixie tubes.
