It wasn't there when I looked last night, there were ten kits listed, today there were eleven listed, the top one was the IN-8-2 kit. Now there are ten again

Seeing as i've started this awesome trend and have attempted to contribute as much of my nixie-knowledge as i can, i don't suppose i can get a custom title like "Nixiedecina" or something? perhaps one that's better than what i've come up with? 
Commissario
You misunderstand me, Mr. Burnsy. There are currently ten different types of kit listed, a short while ago there were eleven.
When I looked at the detail of the "IN-8-2 Nixie Tube Clock Kit With Tubes Included" kit, it said "1 unit in stock". I bought that.
Now there are only ten different kits listed (again).

If you don't get round to making it I'll buy it!
A good find there, I might email them to see if they have more in-8 tubes.

Hehehehe, i suspect that you won't be the only one who wants it if he doesn't
we might have to amend the rules of the MM to allow the selling of Nixie-tube paraphernalia

Oh this will be a project that will be completed and it'll be completed pretty quickly. I've printed off the instructions and it looks very simple indeed, nothing like any tricky coils or inductors to wind.
/edit - No custom titles or selling outside MM
The kit worked out at just over £80 including postage.

Oh yes, forgot to say - I'll be using a feed from my Daiwa 25A PSU. That should be enough!
It looks like this, it's not exactly this model but it's close enough.

It's a bit cumbersome for everyday use though?

Well it's in the shack, it's a handy power source and it's always on so therefore it's ideal.
I'll let you know if there's any noise on HF from it. It might need some screening. Have we worked yet?

Thanks for the help Aod!
Damn, would have loved the kit with the IN-8-2 tubes. Nice grab
I have emailed them few questions I had, and to see if they had any other stock of the IN-8-2's. Will keep you posted if they come back with anything interesting
