People who design PCBs have different features that mostly meet their personal preferences. Also, do you really want a 'standard' clock case ? I think people want something unique. That's some of the apeal of this vintage technology. To own something that's not out of a cookie cutter factory in China. I personally, design the case 1st, around the tubes. Then I figure out how to make the electronics fit. Veterens in this group now my re-occuring rant against the simple rectangular box with six tubes sticky out of the top. Each case should be different. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group. To post to this group, send an email to [email protected].
