RobG 1,892 Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Seeed charges single $10 fee for color, so if you are making more than 10 boards, Seeed is better. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cubeberg 540 Posted September 17, 2012 Author Share Posted September 17, 2012 Ah - now that makes a big difference. We'll definitely need more than 10. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MakersWorkbench 0 Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 I am in for 2 booster packs. So how much should this whole thing cost? I added my name to the list for the tube GB. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cubeberg 540 Posted September 18, 2012 Author Share Posted September 18, 2012 I took a look at the auction that I sent you - the image shows only the clear tubes when you zoom in (if only eBay didn't charge for higher resolution images). I think we're good with that seller. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bluehash 1,581 Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Hi Cube, If you don't mind, can you link me again, so that I'm sure. I'll do an initial order of 20-30 tubes.. for fear they might break. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cubeberg 540 Posted September 18, 2012 Author Share Posted September 18, 2012 Here you go: http://www.ebay.com/itm/310320614443 I'd suggest 30 - that's over the 25 # where parts get cheaper. Do you want me to work up full kit cost at 25-30 units? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bluehash 1,581 Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 It says green in the description.. Is that correct? I think your was blue Yup, go ahead for the kits. I'll reply to your email later. You can ship the kits to me. I'll paypal you the amount. Sound good? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cubeberg 540 Posted September 18, 2012 Author Share Posted September 18, 2012 Most VFD's are the same color, a green-ish blue. That's the right auction - I checked the 2 count auction I purchased and it's the same description (plus all IV-18's are the same color). I'll work up pricing and email you in a bit. Thanks!

bluehash 1,581 Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Should I go ahead and order then? 6 units of 5 each = 30 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cubeberg 540 Posted September 18, 2012 Author Share Posted September 18, 2012 Yep - I'll send you a PM about the kits. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bluehash 1,581 Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Ok... ordered. Thanks cube. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bluehash 1,581 Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 This is the response I got.. whether the tubes were clear or dark. In any case, they are on order: Hello, Background is clear, but all of them has a small technological black area on the background. Thanks, Andrey Quote Link to post Share on other sites
oPossum 1,083 Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 He may be referring to the small black spot from the getter. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cubeberg 540 Posted September 19, 2012 Author Share Posted September 19, 2012 Yeah, there are two spots from the getters (2) and a white area in front of that (possibly to prevent it from being seen from the front). There is also metal from the wiring to the segments. He's describing the tubes we want - glad they're all the same. Thanks for taking care of that Bluehash! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bluehash 1,581 Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Thanks guys! what is a "getter" That's a new term.. do you mean letter? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
