Hi Guys,
auction 290686043596 offers them in quantity. The pins look bent.
Seller says they are new, only badly stored.
I have no interest in this, just thought that maybe somebody may be
interested.

At 16 dollars a pop, no thanks...;-)

Things 'nixie' have certainly gotten a lot more expensive these days....

My records show that in December 2010 eight was sold for $127.50 but
on an assembly including sockets. So, similar price. And looking at
what is going on with their larger brothers (or sisters ;))...
Well, the IN-18s are becoming a bargain. A relative bargain of course.

Wow, you keep extensive records...;-)

I'm still pining for the days you could buy 100 IN-14's for 99 dollars....

Nice to see some of these little nixies surface.
Perfect if you want to build a tiny nixie watch.

Regards, Jeff

Yes, it's neat to see some, it's been a while!

Jeff, how is the case design for the 3 tube watch going?

Should have pushed the "buy it now" button as soon as they came up on
ebay.... Only 10 pieces left.... not really worth the effort to design
another watch.

Sorry for the slow response. Been away from email for a day.

The tooling was completed last year David.
I needed to push it back again as it's only a hobby and not a meal ticket for me.

Thanks for asking anyway. Regards, Jeff

Jeff, that was my brother asking. But I understand how projects can get
pushed back - I have half a dozen that are waiting for their place in
the sun. My Nixie watch took about 6 years to become a profit center.
