the kits should come with them, but you can buy them from almost any electrical parts retailer, they're just standard neon indicators.

<edit>
Oops, it looks like the Tubehobby kit doesn't include them.

the majorest electrical parts retailer (Big squarish red logo, something to do with radio spares?) has them, part number 655-9407

I received a reply from PVElectronics, heres what they had to say

Hi David,

Many thanks for your enquiry.

The IN-8-2 tubes are quite rare and hard to find at the moment. I did have a single kit become available, as a customer for whom I had been holding some IN-8-2 tubes changed his mind. It sold within a few hours (as you have seen!) Whilst I do have a limited number of these tubes, I like to keep them as spares for past customers.

The IN-14 tube has an equally large (18mm) digit height. The tube is also taller which gives it more impact. It also has a plastic spacer at its base which makes soldering easier as the heat is further from the glass to metal seal.



This kit with tubes is available at £69.95. The tubes are a lot more freely available, so spares won’t ever be an issue.



Also to consider is the Z570M kit. These tubes have a 13mm digit height, but the tubes are very high quality European production.



The PCB layouts, circuit, and controller software is all designed and developed in-house. The PCBs are manufactured for us in Shenzhen in China – the powerhouse of the global electronics industry.



If you have any further questions, I should be happy to answer them.



Regards


Pete
