NL7037 Fair Market Value

[alex nolan]

I may have found a private selling willing to part with some NL7037. How much should I offer to buy them for? I haven't found many recent prices. Would Z568M prices be analogous?

You could try, but they’re a little less common in my experience.

Personally, I would not go over $100 US for an NL7037 or a Z568m. Why ?  Because you can get a brand new RZ568m for $145 US, and it has a 10 year warranty. Unless the seller purchased these as NOS, you really dont have a verified history trail. Now, if you have an existing set, and need a replacement to match the appearance of the others, then paying a bit more makes sense. But if this is your first purchase, I'd stick with the RZ568m.

I recently purchased my first 2 RZ568m's from Dalibor, and eagerly await their arrival (they just cleared US customs yesterday), and after I've fired one up I will post a short review on neonixie. Based on what I've seen in the video, I honestly believe there are manufacturing techniques that Dalibor  uses that make his tube superior to the NOS devices, and I'll put that in the review.

Dalibor has sold 1,000s of these and several members here (including me) have his clocks ...

The tubes are fantastic, but it's like a reproduction classic car...

...if you want the original, only the original will do, and they are rare and expensive.

7037's have a very course anode grid and their pinout is mirror image of the Z568M or Dalibor tube.  So if you're planning on using them in an existing Z568M compatible PCB they'll be backwards.

Are they NOS? NIB? Tested? If none of these then between $100 and $150. If all of these then between $200 and $250 or more.
