Source of getters

[Dalibor]

Hi guys,

as I wrote before, I am working on workshop for nixie tubes at home..

One of the things I don't have is getter. I found some companies in China, they are able to supply me with getters, but they want to sell hundreds thousand pieces, it would costs thousands dollars.. Do You someone know about any source of reliable non-evaporable (ZrFe for example) getters?

Or we can order one bigger order and divide it among us (us nixie makers ;-) )

Ask this company for some samples, if they still make them of the type you need.

David is right, asking for samples is a good idea. The two companies I know of that made
getters were Kemet and Alvatec.

Kemet doesn't make getters any more, but Alvatec still does:

Their non evaporable getters are detailed here:
