Greetings,
I am respectfully submitting this information to all Radio and Electronic enthusiasts, collectors, nixie clock makers, tinkerers and dealers in this newsgroup. This may be of interest to anyone looking to obtain Old, B-7971 Burroughs Nixie Tubes mainly for use in the Nixie Clocks.
We once had a large supply of these tubes and since the conception of the Nixie clock, they have been Rapidly Depleting! Recently, an Article in Spectrum Magazine has put an even larger demand on our inventory. The purpose of this update is to give those in this newsgroup interested in Nixie Clocks the opportunity to get these tubes while they are still available ?the main interest was originally from you! We currently have an approximate 1 month supply remaining depending on the results of this article which have already wiped out all of the sockets we had. Since we are the ONLY KNOWN SOURCE of B-7971 Nixies .. this should definitely be taken seriously if you are planning a nixie project.
For those who have not yet heard of our source, some information we have provided before is available below as well as our link:
Available while our supplies last are these Giant, Alphanumeric Burroughs B-7971 Nixie Tubes. These historical tubes of yesteryear were developed in 1952 and used throughout the 1970's as displays for everything from Early Computers, Aerospace, Submarines, and the display of stock prices on the NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE.
We pulled them from an old warehouse, Perfectly Preserved and wrapped in paper to protect them from the years of age. Many electronic/electrical tinkerers have been using them for new and interesting projects such as Nixie Tube Clocks.
We ship overseas and also have available the Original Sockets to accompany the tubes, which are necessary in many applications and are as equally Rare and tough to find. Our tubes are in working order and although we do not test them individually, 99% of the tubes sold to date have worked perfectly! All of them are still as we found them wrapped and boxed. NO Complaints with our service or quality to date, and we hope this will be a good resource for those interested in this type of old technology.
Any questions, please Contact the Webmaster at snipped-for-privacy@usmintquarters.com and we will be happy to answer them. Thank You.
