Dude, did someone slip an extra zero in your listing?

Ebay item 141037824096. Nice counter, but $1500 ? Really?

Probably!

 

And the two uppermost 6802's doesn't glow in the photos either, all other counters of this type that I have seen have had all four 6802's glowing.

Definitely overpriced considering a bold Ebayer got 4 ultra-rare XM1000 tubes (think nixie + CRT) for about the same amount ($1595 US) a few weeks ago. It was amazing to watch the bidding frenzy during the last few seconds.

If it was anybody here that missed out, I've got 4 dozen new-in-factory-packaging IEE NIMO tubes here (northeast US). I'd sell them in low quantities for $125.00 each. I'm willing to negotiate for larger lots (10+).

On that note, if anyone has a couple of SP353 or SP753 displays they'd like to sell, please PM me.

Cheers,

Nick

Westdave would love to get that kind of money for this unit. He's got two of them. Completely working. They do contain 4 12AU7 and 4 12AT7 tubes, plus one 12AX7, each. Maybe he can con an audiophool into buying it.

I'll have to reverse engineer one of Dave's units one day. That's really too many tubes, for its function. I'll have to see what its designer was thinking. It actually has a motor driven wheel inside, with three concentric rings of holes (100 holes, 10 holes, and 1 hole). That range knob, actually moves a light bulb to the particular ring. Dave had a problem with the range selection, with one of his units. A simple mechanical adjustment fixed it.

You can always ask Brent Hilpert if he has reverse engineered his unit which he shows here: http://www.cs.ubc.ca/~hilpert/e/edte/Hunter120A/index.html . He has a very nice webpage with more early counters here: http://www.cs.ubc.ca/~hilpert/e/edte/index.html and his main webpage here: http://www.cs.ubc.ca/~hilpert/ . I know he has reverse engineered some of his units as I asked for schematics for some other units a long time ago.
