I've given up thinking what a good price is now.... that looks like about $200 each when taking tax/currency conversion into account.

They are very nice tubes when lit up. They've gone to a good home (presumably Michail from his smiley face reply... ;)

I won the auction which some might wonder how since they were not sold to the USA.

I’ve been talking to a guy from the Ukraine and he sent me a link.  I decided I wanted them, but seller would not ship out of the country.

 

I’m in a Bitcoin forum/chat rooms and someone I’ve dealt with for a while had me thinking….. I had him bid and pay for me.

 

Story on the auction… Not tested.  Auction says 6, but 4 extra included just in case.   So, possibly 10.   Since I’ve only ever had two, I decided to win it.

Talking to seller and it turns out they were part of the late John Smout’s collection.  Now I got really excited and thinking all 10 should be good.

 

Two days prior to having a friend bid on them had me worried, because he didn’t answer messages.  Uhhhg.  He came through and manually bid for me.

 

So, a double shipping, and I will find out in about a month.  Well, maybe longer since I don’t have any project boards, etc.

 

My guess is about 1125 L total.  Around $150 each assuming all are good.  Not considering the extras in the package yet.

 

Note:  I picked up another of his auctions as well which was VFDs.  IV-25’s

I bid too (I am in the UK and I was aware of their provenance and I live just 20 minutes away from them!) - it was interesting watching the numbers going up!

I'd be fairly confident that they were all good.

Well done on outbidding me ;-)

Sorry bud, if I knew it was you…… Ummm, Ok, I would still have bid on them.  Heh.

Finally, after many years of waiting on them, they appeared on ebay (at least that I have noticed) and barely got them because of the UK only listing.

 

I’m excited to make ‘something’ with them.

No drama - all is fair etc etc etc!

I am just two short for a project - if you ever find that you have spare!!!!!

I am currently working on a 12 digit smart socket based project for other displays - I've done a bit with Smart Sockets over the years - if you end up going that route I'd be happy to compare notes.
