Not quite a Nixie, but possibly of interest to the group, is the Elektronika 7-06M clock. It is a 1980's Soviet clock which uses 16 IV-26 VFDs to display the time. Brian Stuckey at TubeClockDB once called it "so unique it has its own Wikipedia entry".
I've posted a detailed article about the design, operation, and refurbishing of one of these clocks on my blog: http://www.tmk.com/blog/?p=310 This is the "baby" Elektronika 7 model - I'll be posting another article covering the 48-tube version in the future. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
