Gotta be one of the ugliest tubes out there IMHO.  Anode mesh is very coarse and the cathodes are thick and obstruct each other.  Guess people are paying for scarcity and the rounded top.

Z568M / Z5680M or Dalibor tubes way nicer and cheaper.  

My guess $1600 for the lot.

Strange, he is the guy that was selling 10x B-5971, but said he couldn’t test only a few days ago.   Seems he is able to test just fine.

Agree with you that they are ugly 

But It would be nice to have in your colection at least one NIB with matching socket

What's wrong with nipples?  Hehe...  How about the little baby IN-17 with a nipple on the side?

Short lived. No Hg. I have to replace them pretty frequently in one of my clocks (one every 6 months or so), they appear to develop infernal shorts... cheap as nuts though...

Yes, I think I bought a hundred of them some time back, and some of other 'cheap' at the time ones.  Haven't looked at prices lately, too scary.  The seller included some extras for breakage, and a few did have the filler nip snapped off.  I set those aside for experimenting once I get my high vacuum station set up.  It shouldn't take much mercury at all to regas one and test it...

It's on the list of crazy crap to try with my ever-growing junk pile!  Most important is that last night I got the mini split ceiling cassette hung in the shop and running.  Hoping 1 ton is enough in this TX heat.

Poor little feller.  I used to have a garage microwave for experimental use.

IN-1's ???   I gave-up on those years ago when I found internal shorts literally growing between cathodes. Zapping them with high current is just a temporary fix, because they regrow. They do give off a beautiful purple-red glow when you fire them off in a microwave oven.

Yep, That's a lot of $$$ for 4 tubes, but hey, if it brings someone joy, then that's alright!
