#3Fun stuff, at $145/tube its a bit more than they were originally but its nice to know there is a source if you need one.
I really enjoyed his journey of discovery though, I think if he put it into book form he could self publish on Amazon or some similar publisher and people would be able to support his effort without such a big buy in cost :-).

But cheaper than the available stock of the tube it replaces, and more attractive with that nice aluminum base.
Old Z5680M / Z568M tubes of dubious quality are selling on EBay for $200+.

#6Wow, impressive quality in details and finishing. And all made in a small shop in rural Czechia. I wonder how the guy financed all the equipment and time in the first place, he looks pretty young.

I wonder who would buy them at such ridiculous prices. Most NOS nixies are in the $0.5 to $5 range, excluding delivery costs. Only exceptions are a few weird and rare ones.
