I have some 7971's available at that price.  No bidding necessary.  Really.  You can pick your date codes and construction type.

Totally mental. At this rate, might be worth trying to make a new 7971 dalibor style.

I ran it up a little but wasnt going to repeat my birthday night again! Seems like a record.

I have plenty available at that price.... WOW!

[Dekatron42]

Looks like Bitcoins, someone is pushing the price upwards - hopefully there will be a crash so I can afford some.... ;)

Anyone fancy making some pin and voltage compatible ones using chip on board led strips?

Seems like a fun project to try!

Did that back in 2015 for a project tht would use a lot of 7971s. I've
attempted to attach a photo but as it's the first time I've tried here
it may not work.

This was a proof of concept, I had a few PCBs with bases for the pins
made up but didn't have the time to do anything more.

There are short 'half-length' strips available now that would make the
centre segments much easier.

Yeah, that's exactly the idea I was pondering.

They are cool strips, and I wonder with a bit of dimming and filtering, how close you could get to recreate the Burroughs tube look...

Nice but... you know that's cheating, right? :D
