Please follow all the links in the original announcement to the construction
guide and there you will find the BOM.

 

I also mentioned my reasoning behind not offering a complete kit in my
announcement below; If others are interested in doing group-buys, I
encourage that.

So, we have to find all the small components as well?

 

Going to cost us more buy resistors at Radio shack for 4x resistors at $1.
:(

 

I would like a kit, but believe it may not be finished if I have to find all
the parts.

 

Do you have a BOM and where to get them?

So, a kit with all parts is not yet available (all components other than the
tubes)?

 

On the case, are we able to build the front plate reversed should we decide
to not have the logos facing out?

I'm very pleased to announce that all parts for the B7971 x8 display project
are now available. There is a B7971 x8 board set in the circuitworks store
which consists of the assembled and tested display board along with two 4-
tube display boards. In addition, a visual construction guide is will step
you through the acquisition of all the necessary parts. Construction should
take even the casual builder less than 3 hours.

To the more general reader, it should be emphasized that circuitworks does
not supply B7971 tubes. This project is really for the established nixie
tube hoarder who already has the tubes.  There were tens, if not hundreds of
thousands of these tubes manufactured in the early 70's. They do appear from
time to time on ebay.  One note; in a recent ebay auction, a lot of 12 went
for over $75 apiece.

Please also keep in mind this is a 100% open-source project; This includes
the enclosure which is produced by personal laser-cut factory, Ponoko. They
offer other colored materials in addition to black.

Why do I make you go on a treasure hunt for the parts ? So I can concentrate
on future design projects. Since the project is open source, I hope and
encourage people to work on group buys, offer assembly services to non-DIY
types, adapt and extend the firmware to suit your needs or other types of
tubes. I encourage you to  use the cogwheel circuitworks google group for
these sort of discussions.

Again, thanks everyone for their patience.

br>I'm very pleased to announce that all parts for the B7971 x8 display =
project are now available. There is a B7971 x8 board set in the =
circuitworks store which consists of the assembled and tested display =
board along with two 4- tube display boards. In addition, a visual =
construction guide is will step you through the acquisition of all the =
necessary parts. Construction should take even the casual builder less =
than 3 hours.<br><br>To the more general reader, it should be emphasized =
that circuitworks does not supply B7971 tubes. This project is really =
for the established nixie tube hoarder who already has the tubes.&nbsp; =
There were tens, if not hundreds of thousands of these tubes =
manufactured in the early 70's. They do appear from time to time on =
ebay.&nbsp; One note; in a recent ebay auction, a lot of 12 went for =
over $75 apiece.<br><br>Please also keep in mind this is a 100% =
open-source project; This includes the enclosure which is produced by =
personal laser-cut factory, Ponoko. They offer other colored materials =
in addition to black.<br><br>Why do I make you go on a treasure hunt for =
the parts ? So I can concentrate on future design projects. Since the =
project is open source, I hope and encourage people to work on group =
buys, offer assembly services to non-DIY types, adapt and extend the =
firmware to suit your needs or other types of tubes. I encourage you =
to&nbsp; use the cogwheel circuitworks google group for these sort of =
discussions.<br><br>Again, thanks everyone for their patience.<br><br><a =
