Hi everyone,

I have 14 nixie tubes I'm looking to give away to someone in the Seattle-Tacoma area. I purchased them 6 years ago for some projects I never got around to. I haven't tested or used them, but they came to me working They are mostly in their original shipping packaging and have sat in the same box, so they should be good to go.
  • 6x Borroughs B-16851453. They are miniature. I purchased these to make a watch. 4 wrapped, 1 loose, 1 has the casing smashed. 
  • 6x Z5900M. Purchased to make a clock. All wrapped.
  • 2x IV-22. Idk why I got these. Not wrapped.
Available for pickup in South Lake Union.
Text me at 7723410855 and let me know what you'd do with them.

I'm interested in the Borroughs B-16851453 tunes.

These will work in my Heathkit devices.

Let me know when/where I can pickup.

I absolutely would make use of the Z5900M nixies!

I was just about to say that. :-)

Those are the ones NixieBunny used to make into wrist watches, right?

Thank you to those that have reached out and picked them up.

I still have 4 IN-8-2s available for pick-up.

Heads up, my email isn't working so I don't see replies here. Please text me at 7723410855 if you are interested. Thank you!
