Re: [neonixie-l] Re: Anyone with a ton of money? NL7094 and B7095 on eBay.....

2020-05-22 Thread Robert G. Schaffrath
Ooh, I have been out of the loop lately. I had not heard that. I have an 
odd fondness for front facing tubes like the ZM102x's and IN-12's. Maybe 
because the first Nixie tubes I ever saw (and captivated me) were front 
facing ones back around 1972 IIRC. Large tubes like that B-7095 that have 
appeared on eBay really impress me. I would find the money to assemble a 
six digit front facing Nixie tube clock with ~1.5" digits which I believe 
the largest of the large Burroughs/National tubes had.

What is displayed on the B-7095, a grid of some kind ??  I only see a
couple of perpendicularly-crossing elements inside that tube.

Re: [neonixie-l] Re: Anyone with a ton of money? NL7094 and B7095 on eBay.....

2020-05-21 Thread Kevin A.
I believe Dalibor is working on a traditional vaccum tube pin base for his
tubes. I cant remember which video it was but in one of his recent updates
he noted that he had finally found a supplier for the classic style of tube
base with a circular pin arrangement. Very excited to see when that becomes
a reality for his nixies in the future. My bank account is not very excited
however!

I really love that Dalibor is creating new tubes, and his expansion into 
the large front-facing tubes are quite exciting. The one downside in my 
mind is the aesthetic of the pins, however. I really enjoy nixie pins 
arranged in a circle as they can be used as mounting points. Dalibor tubes 
tend to be taller/longer due to needed a circuit board interface to turn 
the small flexible wires into pins arranged in a circle. That arrangement 
also adds a mandatory non-glass portion on the bottom of the tube.

That tends to be one reason, or my reason at least, for continuing to 
purchase order tubes like the Z5680M and such.

Re: [neonixie-l] Re: Anyone with a ton of money? NL7094 and B7095 on eBay.....

2020-05-21 Thread Nicholas Stock
Pushing the limits of credulity. I keep my eyes on the bay and have done now 
for about 20 yrsfor about the last 5 years the same two ZM1030 tubes have 
been listed at the same pricei would have taken that as a hint personally 
to lower the price maybe?

The 7095 is very rare indeedI’ve never seen one listed before, so that one 
may be worth the asking price for the collectors, but the 7094 isn’t worth $2K 
(I get it, things are worth what someone is willing to pay for)...but as Martin 
said, given Dalibor’s recent posts, looks like ultra large end view tubes may 
be on their way!

What I find a little disappointing is the paucity of tubes being offered 
nowbut inevitable at some point I suppose..

Hope everyone is safe and healthy and enjoying indoor neon!!

Cheers,

Pharma Nick
