Hello!

It's been a couple of years since I found Neonixie forum at my hunt for nixie tube related knowledge. It helped me to find a lot of information and has connected me with many people who contributed to my "nixie tube resurrection" project. What was a hobby project at the beginning has turned into a serious fulltime work. I enjoy every day in the shop and would like to share the fun with you.


Thanks for watching!

Best regads,

Dalibor Farny

The development of the equipment, techniques and skills to accomplish the creation of these tubes is nothing short of incredible!  I own a set of these outstanding tubes and they are truly a work of art.  

Thank you for sharing a gift and documenting your work!

Simply astonishing Dalibor, I thoroughly enjoyed that and am enjoying your works of art here at home too.

Congratulations....there really needs to be some kind of award you can be nominated for!

Dalibor, my sincere congratulations for this phenomenal video and on your pioneering work. The last shot, 60 Nixie tubes lighting up in unison, I don't think I have ever seen that before. That truly made my day!

@ Nicholas: I think there is the so-called Stokes award from the Tube Collectors Association. Dalibor succeeded, he revived the Nixie tubes beyond perfection, and therefore I think he certainly deserves this award. I just contacted Ludwell Sibley and shared the link to the video.

Best wishes
Jens

Jens,

 
I would second his nomination for that as there has been no-one who has given so much commitment to the revival of Nixies.

My squirrel fund is getting a bit more closer to owning a set of these masterpieces!

Incredible. I'm amazed this can be profitable, given the obvious time and equipment required to produce these.

Cue the scene from 'Wayne's World'........."we're not worthy !!"

I never could have imagined someone who started a few years ago with a hobby fascination with nixie tubes literally making their own factory with such high-end equipment, parts, and skill. Words like incredible and amazing just dont capture what's been accomplished here.

Well, I better hurry up and buy some this year so I can get the lifetime warranty...

Just want to add my appreciation. I have a set running in pvelectronics kit. Just beautiful. Working on a suitable display case.
