Introduction

This page is a complete list of items have to sell. It ranges from bits'n'bobs, components, connectors and a variety of kits complete, partial and fully assembled.

Many of the kits use SMD parts. If you wish I will solder these onto PCBs for no extra charge (I prefer to provide the SMD parts fitted as I find it quicker than to bag and label them).

If I supply a mains lead then it have a UK fused plug or a north European plug fitted as required. I cannot provide plugs for any other country or region but a lead may be possible.

Unless stated otherwise, all mains powered kits are compatible for 115V or 230V, 50Hz or 60Hz operation. If you live somewhere with another mains specification then please contact me.

Other points of note:

• If you want a kit other than those listed then please contact me with what you want included
• 3.4% discount if you pay by UK bank cheque or BACS for payments in GBP

• Electronics kit (as detailed here) - £200
• Acrylic case kit (as detailed here) - US$125

The observant will note that the electronics kit is in GB £ and yet the case kit is in US $. The reason is simple and perhaps obvious. I live in the Highlands of Scotland where I assemble (and sell) the electronics kit and the case is designed, manufactured and the kit assembled in San Diego CA USA and so sold from there.

While Stocks Last

I have a limited number of E1T tubes for sale. Tubes are only available for sale with either the standard or standard, case and cover kits or premium versions. All tubes will be tested in a Fortress E1T clock.

• In exceptional condition, probably new - £50 each Sold out!
• Used but in good condition (in my opinion) - £40 each Sold out!
• Used, in less than good condition (minor scratches, minor burns, etc.) - £30

While Stocks Last - I don't have many!

I will send photos of the "less than good" tubes so you can see what you are buying first.

Harwell Dekatron Clock Built and Tested

Fully built, tested and configured clocks are only available from Stock's Clocks together with your choice of British or American Dekatrons.

Harwell Dekatron Clock Kits

  • WIFI bare PCB - add £1
• Standard electronics kit (as detailed here) - £310 + shipping
• • GPS option kit - add £50
  • WIFI option kit - add £30

All electronics kits are assembled and shipped from Scotland. Payment will be in GBP. UK shipping (tracked and insured) costs are estimated as, for example:

• To the USA as an example of international shipping £36

The acrylic case kit is assembled and shipped from San Diego, California. Payment will be is $US.

• To an USA address (the easy bits) $US35
• To the UK as an example of international shipping $US58

While Stocks Last

I have a limited number of suitable dekatron tubes for sale. Tubes are only available for sale with kits. All tubes will be tested in a dekatron spinner for at least 24 hours before shipping. While I have sufficient tubes to sort them, I will endevour to supply tubes in physically matched sets (same logo, printing colour etc.)

• In exceptional condition, probably new - £30 each
• Used but in good condition (in my opinion) - £25 each
• Used, in less than good condition (printing scratched or missing, some silvering) - £20

While Stocks Last - I don't have many!

If you wish, I will send photos of the "less than good" tubes so you can see what you are buying first.

Shipping cost for seven tubes will be typically:

• To a UK address using Royal Mail Special Delivery £9
• To the USA as an example of international shipping £27

If tubes and an electronics kit are ordered together (a likely case) then you might think it would be cheapest to ship in one parcel - Wrong!!! Trying different combinations of parcel weight, value and destination in the Royal Mail calculator it appears that shipping as two parcels wil be the cheapest option - stupid of course.

Importing into the EU

The people of Scotland voted decisively to remain within the European Union (EU) in 2016. Scottish Ministers continue to believe that EU membership is the best option for Scotland - The Scottish Government.

I did not vote for BREXIT! Unfortunately anyone in the EU buying a kit from me will now be liable for import duty or VAT at their country's rate. I have already paid VAT on the components I have bought to assemble the kits and, due to BREXIT, tax has to be paid again to import the kit into the EU. Unfortunately this is yours to pay. I am not registered for VAT and can make no deductions.

Generally countries worldwide set reasonable thresholds for when import duties become payable - for example for Autrailia it is AU$1000. But the EU sets a very low threshold. The liability for import duty is yours to pay and not mine whatever your country is.

Shipping in general

Postage will be whatever I have to pay and no more. A complete kit will normally be shipped with tracking and insurance. Outside of the UK shipped will be by air. Inside the UK shipped Royal Mail "Special Delivery" is normally used for larger items. I will give you an estimate for shipping to your location based on Royal Mail prices and then the actual cost when posted.

I normally try to keep the shipping as low a cost as possible. This often means shipping in two or more packages. Often it is cheaper to send several small packages rather than one large one. Stupid of course.

You're welcome to come and collect the kit … but I live near Drumnadrochit, Highlands, Scotland.

This said, some kits and parts may be offered to be shipped from San Diego, CA as an alternative. This should be cheaper for destinations in Canada and the USA. Again, Nick will take visitors if you wish to collect your case kit.
