Try pricing some of the other numbers some time...
I had a reel-to-reel tape deck years ago that had a couple of NE45 bulbs in it
for level indicators. Nifty looking electrodes in that bulb, but the price?
Yikes!

www.farnell.com, a larger distributor, offers them for 15? per piece

probably be today in the range of what was was paid for it in 1966... I think I just found their website whilst
noodling around. They can
make 2.5 million NE-2's a day, minimum order is 100K bulbs.
I wonder if there are 1000 on this list that want a *New* 1966
computer. :)
I am guessing $.50 each so $500K is a reasonable order size.
