Anyone have access to a stash of Nixie tubes that are just taken up space? Eventually I want to build a clock.

My new neighbor tells me he had access to a huge stash at work. All never used spares. He retired about 6 month before I moved in an no longer has access to the tubes. .

 

Just a thought but call purchasing, explain the interest, and see if
they want to get rid of it.

Before they dump it.

Regards, Dana.

They are long gone as far as I know.

A guess or you know for certain ?

I've seen Nixie tubes on sale at EBay and Amazon. New old Soviet era stock, though I hear there are a few guys here and there making them again.

As these guys are basement operations making them one at a time by hand I would expect them to cost $$$.

Yes I have seen them on eBay and Amazon.


Maybe I need to get into glass blowing?

I understand a number of antique radio hobbyists make their own tubes.

Mr Paillard for starters.
