New Jeff Thomas NixiChron Clock Kit + Matching Set of NOS Tested IN-18 Nixie Tubes

[William RUTLAND]

Hi Fellow Forum Members.

New guy here although I've been interested in nixie tube (and the like) devices for many years.  I assembled one nixie tube clock a number of years ago and its still going strong.

Now on to the question:

In 2011, I purchased a new NixiChron kit directly from Jeff Thomas.  I still have the correspondence.  A nice guy, RIP. Jeff directed me to a Mr. Gene Segal for the tubes, which I purchased. 

Both boxes are still in the closet, unopened, unassembled.  I'm facing some health issues so am not sure if I'll ever get to them or not. 

So my question is this:  What is the kit + tubes worth? I really have no idea, although I've been told just the unassembled kit went for $1000 + (USD) some time ago on eBay?

Thanks for your expertise and assistance!

Set of 6 tubes fluctuates between 220 and 300 on eBay at the moment. If you got your from Gene, then they're probably late date code and on the higher end of that range.

For the kit itself, I'm unsure....it's a nice clock. $1000 dollars is a stupid amount IMHO, but things are worth what people are willing to pay for them. I'd peg it at around $5-600 dollars, but hey, list it!

PM me if you want any more info.

Cheers,

(Pharma) Nick

The NixiChron uses IN18 tubes. They do not sell for $150 a piece.

Good advice here from Nick. I bought one of my 3 in '06 from Jeff for $599. Yours probably has the latest and greatest FW in it too since the last rev. was in 2010. Go for it, if its in tact in the nice white box Jeff used to ship them in, it may end up bringing $1000. His clocks were very professionally executed and to this day, IMHO, one of the best! Although they don't have the LED bling (I gotta' have those LED's) and no cross fade, still...top notch.
