That one's here in the US. Looks like a 'burb of Baltimore. I have no connection to it, either. It'll go high. One of those pandicons, alone, will go at the price its at, right now. Here's the US link, to the same item:

Big tubes are insane these days, $2995 wouldn't surprise me....

[GastonP]

2500 IMO... And all that for an *as-is* sale... Evidently there's still a lot of people that don't know what to do with their money...

[AlexTsekenis]

I am not aware of the history, usage or storage conditions of these tubes, but picture two makes me worry.
If you look in picture two the leads show signs of iron oxides, rust. Dekatron picked up on this.

As you know Dumet glass-to-metal seals have an iron-based core, surrounded by copper. It seems the outer copper has been stripped off (many insertions?,  bad storage?). With the copper removed the rust propagates up into the tube and usually causes a leak. Many nixie tubes, even new ones experience that; they look fine but they don't work. I mean, have a look at Jens Boos page (linked in the auction) to see how good pins look like.

The poster of the auction knows about NOS, knows what the original package is and that they are rare.

That combined with the 'as is' and 'not returnable' settings of the auction are suspicious and make me very worried.

Regards,

Alex

No affiliation with the listing etc etc...

Just still in awe of how much people think these things are worth.....

All the best,

YES! You are very right. That certainly is RUST, not a good thing. Not only that, but it looks like somebody made an effort to remove it from the 8091. Of all the old 7971's I have, not a one has advanced rust like that up near the envelope. Some poor bastard may be in for a rude awakening! Poor may be the wrong word!

I like the NOS definitions.   see   item  121091873560

There is a line lower down ....

Actual NOS (Some Tubes Test NOS but have a few hours on them): No

 

Have a look at the envelope !

I guess NOS can mean 'old valve in the box the new one came out of.'
