Brilliant!
This tablet counter was developed by C.E King in the 1960's; the batch counter is a 1972 model. They had earlier models that used decatrons. In 1982 they replaced the nixie tube based batch counters with 7-segment LEDs.
My business upgrades these (and other, more sophisticated) tablet counters with new sensors; light sources, PLC and colour touch screen HMI. Some that I have upgraded date from 1969, and are still in full operation. I got a few of those batch counters here, also one with 4 nixies. I actually wanted to turn that one into a clock, but haven't had the time yet (always a problem with hobby projects....)
Thanks for sharing, it's a great and reliable machine. Brand sparkling new ones can still be purchased here:
Here's one with decatron counter; I have no relation to this company:
Cheers,
Michel

The video doesn't look all that old, cool to see Nixies still in operation!
