This morning I went to my local radio clubs(NARC) fall swap meet, sold
a bunch of surplus, found a radio or two. But the coolest find of the
day was this "Bikron" binary clock:

(Sorry about the blurry picture! -- I'll try and post a better shot.)
This is like a lot of other binary clocks, but it's vintage, from the
70's as far as I can tell. And uses incandescent bulbs instead of
LEDs.
3 buttons on the back, hours set, minutes set, and hold/run. Simple.
Nice woodwork, elegant design, rugged and robust. Battery backup,
seems to keep good time so far. Incandescent bulbs behind a red filter
give that nice, warm look, not LED cold.
Anyone have any information on this clock? I can find almost nothing
about it on the web.

Very nice clock. There's something about a binary display with light bulbs.
It might make more sense if you rotated the case counterclockwise 90
degrees to put the seconds on the right and the hours on the left.
