Skip the INTRO, Go RIGHT to the CATALOG of STOCK TUBES!

These are the various Nixie Tubes we have on hand from Burroughs, National (Wang), Raytheon, NEC, Amperex, Philips, Numitrons from RCA, and even Panaplex neon displays from Beckman/Sperry. To save you some frantic email, YES! we DO have sockets in stock at this time, but keep in mind many of these are solderable types if you are experimenting or making clocks, and of course, for repairs and retrofits, the socket is already there.

We have some new (NOS) and some pulls available. All Nixies have good or excellent element visibility, and none have blackened fronts. We are very picky about what we buy and sell, you can be sure these are worth having.

Lots of new NIXIE data just added for your reference. Please note that over-current makes the tubes blacken, and seriously shortens tube life, limit average current to 2.5-3mA for most tubes.

NAVIGATION: To make your life easier, and help you find exactly what you want, we have broken the on-line equipment catalogs into smaller sections. Just CLICK on the item you are looking for at the left, to see the matching catalog. Large graphical catalogs are a bit SLOW, so please give them a bit of time to load. The top header of each catalog is largely the same, so don't think you are stuck in one place!

You can order anything here just by picking up the phone, and calling (250) 769-1834 during normal office hours, 8:30AM to 4:30PM PST, or FAX to (250) 769-4106. OR, Email your order to Susan HERE.

SHIPPING: Preferred and Alternate Methods as of June 4, 2013

Preferred - Canadian ExpressPost which has guaranteed delivery time, is insured, and trackable on-line. We have an extraordinarily good success rate (better than 99.9%) with ExpressPost, so we highly recommend it, especially for one-of-a-kind items. It is cheaper than couriers, trackable, more reliable, fully insured and goes almost everywhere. Yes, it is expensive, but it works.

USA destinations, shipping/handling minimum of $32.00 for any insured, trackable air shipment up to 0.5 kg/1 pound. (typical delivery within 5 business days).
Canadian destinations are typically $18-25 (depending on location) with delivery within 2-3 business days.
Europe, Australia, South America and other overseas areas via Canada Post International ExpressPost air mail insured service or Canada Post International Air Service where ExpressPost is not offered is $59.00 for parcels up to 500 grams/1 pound.

Alternate - Regular Airmail. Virtually all of our shipment failures and delays have been because of this method, so it should be used with caution. It is slower and less secure, but considerably cheaper.

USA Destinations are $12.00 for AirMail parcels up to 250 grams/0.5 pound or $15.00 for parcels from 250 grams to 500 grams/1 pound. This option offers no delivery guarantee or insurance so we can accept no liability for loss or damage. Very small, rugged items that can fit in a 000 padded bag can ship for $6. This works for some parts, NOT FOR NIXIES!
Canadian destinations are virtually identical to ExpressPost, so we do not offer this method within Canada, as it has no advantage to the customer. Very small, rugged items that can fit in a 000 padded bag can ship for $6. This works for some parts, NOT FOR NIXIES!
Europe, Australia, South America and other overseas areas via AirMail is $22.00 for parcels weighing up to 500 grams/1 pound. This service offers no guarantee, insurance or tracking and we can accept no liability for loss or damage. Transit times are unpredictable by this method, but service to Europe is generally very good, while service to South America is simply terrible.

Alternate - Courier. This is usually the most expensive method, but can be the quickest.

We can also ship FedEx or UPS when time or weight is critical, and overnight FedEx P1 shipping is available. Note that our pick-up cut-off time is noon PST for FedEx. We can use your account number, or bill to your credit card only. Our experience is that FedEx is the best solution for time critical shipments, UPS for heavy ones, but UPS has a higher damage rate.

E-Mail Susan if you want a quote for shipping to other destinations, or for something heavy. Sorry, we can't safely send most individual small parts in a regular letter envelope, they get destroyed by the automated handling equipment. Sometimes we can ship very rugged parts in a small padded envelope by letter post. Ask Susan.

There is a packing charge for large or heavy equipment, see the elsewhere in the FAQ for details.

If we have your valid data on file, you can just click on the ORDER email link to place an order and indicate your approval to bill, and we will do the rest. We keep your active information for ONE YEAR for your convenience.

If this is the first time you have dealt with us, you can phone +1 (250) 769-1834 or FAX +1 (250) 769-4106 to supply the billing info, or send it by the email link, as you prefer. We accept VISA/MC, international money order, Paypal (to Susan@Okanagan.net), and bank wire transfer. Please note that there are transaction fees with Paypal and wire transfer payments, the wire transfer fee is frankly horrifying, $50.
