No bad digits or segments, otherwise operationally
unknown. Appearance is VG (high-res JPEGs available). $25 plus shipping without manual (I paid $40 for an original manual). $45 plus shipping with manual. (Manual alone is $40 shipped.) [Translation: I bought this damn thing, paid $40 for a manual, and STILL could not get it to work. Better call it 'untested'] Well, no, although I can see why you'd think that. Real translation: I already had two perfectly good counters but had a thing for Nixie displays (as I said in the ad) so I got this one, then went looking for a manual because I ALWAYS get one for all my gear (which may not be rational, but the whole boatanchor thing isn't totally rational), found one, paid $40 for it, flipped the counter on to watch the display show random numbers, watched again a few other days, let the counter sit for a couple of years, and decided to sell it on the same basis that I bought it: a counter with a working display. Don't let the shanigans of a few less-than-honest SOBs turn you completely cynical. Avery W3AVE Potomac, Md. Anyone would think that, from what you originally posted. You're obviously an articulate person. Why didn't you give a few more details initially? I'll never understand this terse posting/listing by people who want to sell things to complete strangers. On eBay it's especially irritating. It's like the seller thinks he's talking to his best friend: "Hey bro. Find a nice counter for ya. Goes to 200 Mhz. How about 50 bucks?" Out here in the world of strangers we need a bit more detail. Leonard -- "Everything that rises must converge" --Flannery O'Connor Well, I can vouch for Avery on this one. I sold the counter to him and it did indeed work when I sold it to him and I don't doubt it still does. Oddly, my rationale for buying it and selling it was just like Avery's! ![]() Barry - N4BUQ |
