Shameless Self Plug : B7971 on ebay

[Alex Grant]

A shameless bit of self publicity: I have been promising a work
college I would sell these for him for ages - bit of a shame really as
I wouldn't mind them myself but I made the rookie mistake of telling
him they were worth a reasonable sum... If you are after some 7971s in
the UK, check out item # 220953104146 on ebay.

Unfortunately I am in the UK and looking for at least another two
7971s but can't afford them just now.

B.Bamber - I remember buying surplus junk from them back in the early
80s I think, but back then nobody wanted nixies. Another surplus
seller had bags of miniature nixies 10 or 15 for £1, at least I did
buy a couple of those just in case they came in handy one day....

2 for a quid including sockets. Blimey! Cheapest I ever got them was
about 2 quid each from HL Smiths (or was it GW Smiths - HL was in
Edgware Road, GW was in Lisle Street), Bulls, Proops (TCR) or some-
such.

I was 9 or 10 at the time.

Seen that lot already, unfortunately at the moment I don't have the
funds to bid on them, well not a realistic amount anyway. There has
also been a fair few pairs as BIN over the last few days as well in
America from the same seller.

Two for a pound - where's my time machine?.

Those things are literally going to be worth their weight in gold
soon.
