I've stuck a bunch of measurements at:

Hi Tom,
Your nixie clock got to 23:59:60 and then started counting backwards!
It still is, and it counts backwards through 60 in the seconds field,
skipping 01 - currently at 2015.06.30 23:49:60. See the video clip I
sent you last time. Maybe it's a southern hemisphere thing.
