Bob, are you still planning on releasing another nixie driver board?

They listed 930 units, so maybe they have capacity. 3 months to manufacture and deliver. 

Nice looking unit, but doesn’t remind me of any old radios I’ve had.

One funny review was from Men’s Gear “This device takes you back to the time when Nixie’s were prevalent: the 90’s”

I saw that one too.  It looks pretty cool, but a bit pricey in my ever so humble opinion.  Guess I need to check my stock on IN-12/15...

In the link, check the text beneath the picture of the IN-12 tubes:
We have one of the largest stocks of nixie tubes that we collected in decades

Bob,

Thanks for bringing up our project here ;-)

Yes, so far we have enough stock of IN-12 tubes.

We are also happy to buy IN-12 tubes if anyone here wants to sell their tubes ^_^


Best,

The video says "A vintage technology unseen in over 30 years." I am speechless.

When was the last time that someone built an IN-12?...  Yep, 30 years ago.

That is as maybe Jeff, but when was there ever a period when an example was unseen?

As you pointed out, it's "A vintage technology unseen in over 30 years", not example.

Happy to use my own tubes in the one I ordered. Are they going to be in sockets?

Your point being, Aiden? An invisible vintage technology which this forum has been showing glowing examples of, for how many years now? I had no idea I could not see anyone else's nixie clocks. It seems to me you are trying to say that you do something extraordinary, technologically-speaking.

Paul,

Yes, the tubes are in sockets for sure. It'll be easier to replace when needed.

Thank you for your support.

Best regards,
Aiden

This thread has turned troll-like and no further comments are needed. 

Congrats on the kickstarter success.  The response speaks volumes for the presentation and reputation.  Apparently the people voting with their money agree with you.

I am curious as to how you get to the 22 years lifespan claim ?
What are the techniques used to get such a long lifetime ?
