Is a 1970's nixie clock design really the best idea in this day and age?
I mean, unless there is something really neat going on with the
industrial design?
Electronics have come a long way since then. a Nixie clock built using
TTL logic is probably not the most cost-effective (or feature complete)
choice.

Hi, All!
I'm new to the group, having joined because of a current project. I
have a nixie clock design of my father's from the 70s that I am hoping
to put back into production (my dad was ahead of his time - he lost
his shirt on these clocks in the 70s, but I'm pretty sure I can sell
some now). To do this I'll need a lot of NOS nixies. I'm trying to
find out if 5870 (preferably 5870s) nixies still exist in large enough
quantities for a production run - if that doesn't work out then the
next step will be figuring out how much redesign will be needed to
switch to Russian IN-16s.
Anyway, does anyone know of a good source for large quantities?
Thanks!
