Nixie stuff
The problem is not that we aim too high and fail. It is that we aim too low and succeed.
I don’t know when I first saw a Nixie clock, but I remember thinking they were really nice, but very expensive. About a year ago I came across them again and they suddenly seemed much more reasonable. Perhaps there were more options – more clocks using smaller, more reasonably priced tubes. Anyway, I ended up buying a kit from PV Electronics , and so my obsession was born! Here it is, a QTC clock using IN-8-2 tubes .
