One Z568M NIB for sale with problem

[Dieter Waechter]

HI!
A friend has a NIB Z568M for sale.
It is new and unused and in original box, but it has a problem.
tube works perfectly, but when cathode 1 is lit for some seconds or minutes,
it bends a bit (because of the heat) and slightly touches the 8. Then 1 and
8 are lit together.
I don't need it, so I ask the group if anyone wants it.
He wants 225 EUR net plus shipping paid by Paypal. Wordwide registered
letter mail is 6 EUR.
If anyone is interested, let me know.
Can send pictues.

I would be interested in just the pictures :D

[Dieter Waechter]

;-)

Will send them if anyone is interested to buy and I make those pictures.

Why would you pay 225 EUR for a tube that doesn't work properly?

But it's a _cool_ tube, right? An enterprising engineer should be able to figure out a use case where you never use the number "1".... maybe, anyways.  Possibly if you mux the "1", maybe it takes longer to get hot enough to bend into the 8? who knows. Anyways, point was: never underestimate collectors.
I've got a freezer full of Infrared film that has quadrupled in value in the last couple of months.
I know that we have lots of users in this group whose tubes have far more than quadrupled in value since they purchased them. As my dad used to say, "It's only worth what somebody else is willing to pay for it."
For some reason, some people will pay quite a lot for that collectible something.

Wow. I have a Z568M that shows both 4 and 8 simultaneously....I'll use it as the 0/1/2 of the 24hrs in a clock, but elsewhere it would be a little useless....perhaps I should sell it! ;-)

Cheers,

I have a NIB Z5680M that the getter came loose (bad spot weld I guess)
and is on the bottom of the tube. Everything works fine, so I guess
that's good.

I guess I should sell too.

[David Forbes]

Will it work as the seconds digit, which only is lit for one second at a
time?

Hi David,
Yes, that would work, if the clock has no menu where it would be lit longer.

No disrespect Dieter, but the world must have gone mad :)

225 euros is close to the price for a fully working one - why would you pay that sort money for one that already has problems and may well develop others?

Ho, hum...

[Dieter Waechter]

HI!

Yes, I know, but it is already sold.

Note that it is not my tube and not my price and I only sold it for a friend without internet.
