Cool indeed. That's a good looking case, and a really nifty and unusual clock. I like it a lot. I have one question, and one thought to add: Do you update the digits by sweeping entirely through all of them for visual interest, or to provide an opportunity to check the tube synch each time? Maybe you could PWM the nixie to make it a little dimmer, to match the E1Ts. As it is, it's a lot brighter, and I'm guessing you're running it at its rated current, so reducing the current wouldn't be a good idea. You could just add a filter, but throwing away nixie photons seems like a crime, so keeping it off part of the time (getting more life out of it) seems like the way to go. - John -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
