Here's a video of the above clock running:

The flicker you see is the beat frequency between the camera's frame
rate and the multiplexing rate of my clock. In real life, no flicker.
The clock also has 'cathode poisoning prevention' scheme, which
briefly flips each tube to a different digit. I don't know if this is
really needed, since those tubes are never going to be flipped around
or used for anything else. Its been running since 2004. The IN-14s
still look like new. The 6802 dekatron's glass is a bit mirrored, but
not too badly. Only the NE-2 in the middle looks the worst for wear.
Maybe I stuck a limiting resistor in there, that was a bit too small.
I often switch the value of the part used, to something else, than
whats listed in the schematic.

Do what I say, not what I do.
