Well, let me know what would be good price for all of you.

[lai...@wcoil.com]

What kind of price range are we looking at on these tubes? Where are you
located so we can get an idea on shipping. Thanks Tim.

Well, i am from czech republic, i was not planing to do a group buy initialy. I was thinking more like i would buy the whole lot for somebody else. So i need to know the price people would be able to pay so i can see if i could buy the tubes in the first place. Hope you understand. I plan to call the seller on monday so i can ask him if he still has them.

Oh that gets complicated..... I did a group buy for over 1000 Nixie tubes
for the Neonixie group some years ago. Boy that was a lot of work. I
shipped tubes all over North America, Canada and Europe.
It might be easier for you to see how many tubes are wanted in the US and
Europe. Then maybe ship 2 boxes of tubes, one to somebody in the US that
could then ship to other people in the US. The other box would go to
somebody in Europe that could divide up the tubes and ship to the other
people who bought tubes.
I have no idea on the going price for this particular type of Dekatron.
Most of what I have are the common ones and I got most of them for under
$10 each. I would expect that these are going for more. I could go
something around $20-25 each. (If they would be less, that would be
great.) If you have a price a lot higher than $20-25 in mind I would have
to do some serious thinking first. Due to an upcoming trip my budget is
rather strained right now :-o The bank account is going ouchy!

[Jon D.]

I would be interested in 5 of these tubes at $20-$25 each.

[Tom Nolan]

I would also be interested in 5 of these tubes at $20-$25 each.

Thanks,
Tom

Just an update on the situation: i called the seller and the price around 25 USD will most likely be possible. Now he has to check how many tubes he still has. I should have the answer in about a week or so.

One question, what would be the easiest way to test all the tubes? I do not have any dekatron spiners on hand to modify. All i have re couple nixie clocks.

Is there anything special or unique about the Z564S versus other dekatrons ?

I have an A101 in my big clock, and it's bidirectional and large enough to see across the room (it's going clockwise for the first 12 hours of the day, then counterclockwise during the second half. Speed is 1 rev/second)

Although it is not a robust test, I use one of those toy plasma ion generators to run a quick and dirty one on newly purchased nixies and dekatrons to ensure they glow.  While not perfect, it will at least let you confirm that they contain gas.  By rotating the dekatron next to it, I can confirm each neon dot glows.

I would like two please, but could make do with one, if needed.

[kay486]

Another update on the situation. The seller has only 5 or 6 tubes, so i am sorry, i can not get anybody the tubes, he said he really had about 30 tubes, but he sold them in the past year or so.
