I have a set of a ratchet driver and sockets that were sold by the largest department store in Canada - Eaton's which offered a lifetime warrantee on this product. I still use it but store is long gone - just like Sears there is no warrantee service available any more. Giving a 15 year guarantee on an untested product is just smoke and of no value. What if the seller changes their company name and they no longer exit ? They might still use the same address and contact information but they no longer "exist" I have this very issue with the company that built my house - they changed their name and when I called about poor quality they answered the phone but said they were now a "different company" and did not do warrantee service under their first name, and then they blocked me from calling them any more.

I did a question on Kickstarter to the builders about the tubes. I suggested that since they are using a PCB base that it would be more attractive to offer a pinout equivalent to the IN-18 in the circular pin outline instead of the two straight rows. This way the tubes could be used in existing designs. His response:
Hello,
I think we will present the version with circular pin pattern for the lovers of IN-18 tubes. It will be special offer. Thank you
I am thinking that they are initially wanting to sell their clocks and thus the proprietary pin-out. It doesn’t seem to be the most practical business approach but credit for trying to keep the art of nixies alive.

The information and videos on kickstarter show a very interesting process and result. It is encouraging to see efforts like this to revive the manufacturing of nixies.The choice of IN-18 size digits is good, if you were picking an existing tube to offer. The size of the metal base seems too tall. It appears that there may be more in the base than just pins and a PCB. The proprietary socket arrangement may be good for the specific clock that you are offering but the idea of putting inexpensive and ESD sensitive chips into the base of a $100 nixie tube is a negative in my opinion.I think that you should consider having an option for a tube that is just a nixie that can drop-in existing applications for the IN-18. It would seem that 99% of your work is produce a beautiful tube and the effort to offer a standard pinout with direct interface to the nixie would require little extra effort. Could you reduce the height of the metal base by simplifying or does the glass pinch seal really take this much extra height?
Hello,
We sell tubes ( NOS Soviet tubes)from 2013 year and are for 6 years on the market.
We decided to make a Nixie tube a long time ago, and we need few years to test all before presentation.
So we want to have reputation and our reputation is important thing for us.
About pinout, design, sizes, of course, we will develop something according customers feedbacks.
Thank you for feedbacks and support.

Thank you
For quite a while now, we have been exploring the ways how the nearly forgotten unique industrial material kan be used in futuristic steampunk design. The time has come to present the world with the Moonracer! Our excitement is as large as to the moon and BACK!"

I know quite a lot of the back story to this: I worked on a business plan to see if it was worth investing into it, and came to the conclusion that it was not necessary. If anyone wants to see the business plan, contact me.

Yan. You know, that you done this business plan with me. Why you ignored my email letters, when I wrote to you?
