Title: [WTB] One switch at a time - nixies
Post by: DanielT on Mon, 04 April 2016, 04:05:56

While posting the other day I realized that I can try a different approach in order to get enough Nixie Blacks for my dream 60% . So I'm buying them one at a time :D
Please sell me your leftovers, you have 1-2 Nixie blacks and you can spare them ? I want them, don't care if I pay shipping, just hit me with what you have :) It would be a dream to get also one of the strange spacebar switches but I know it's too much to ask.
I'm open also to gifts :D For this project I need around 64 switches, I have the first one, a gift from HzFaq  :cool: It will be an interesting project, it will have something from users all over the world, that is if it works  :cool:

I've made a separate thread from my other stuff because this is more of a personal project than a standard Want To Buy.
I will post here in the OP also a countdown :D

Forgive me if I'm totally off the mark here, but couldn't you source some vintage black and then get clear switch tops from here:

No problem :) I'm doing this for fun, Nixies are rare switches, I don't give a damn about LED's and clear housing, it's just I want those vintage switches in my 60%.
And I don't think much of Gaterons, I know it's the big hype, smooth and stuff, but I like the real Cherry stuff more :)
