At least a bit less than the other similar listing :)

Very expensive. They've hovered around 200 to 250 of late. Supply and demand and all that....

Wow! I still have one of those boards, with sockets, and can populate it with two NOS tubes. To think those complete assemblies used to sell for USD$5 or less in the 1970's. Of course 10 years from now, this might look like a bargain. I am amazed that B7971's are now in the $200 range (and climbing). In my box of NOS spares, I have left a note to whomever may find it someday, if I should suddenly depart, to verify the value of them before deciding to toss the box. At the time I wrote the note they were going for around USD$175.

I've told my wife, when I'm gone, under no circumstances sell my nixie junk for what I told you I paid for it!

Get some small, sticky labels and write down the date and an "eBay" price and put them in a discreet place.  Let your heirs know and they can make a more knowledgeable decision.

That is the exact same thing amateur radio operators need to their wives as well!

I'll show my age with this, but look at those pretty metal T0-5 transistors! It's sad we now have ugly plastic packages such as the TO-92.
