The closest thing I've seen was a digital voltmeter I had years ago and converted it into a clock. The display was a single unit of 5 digits, and there were individual type 527 (I think that's the number; very commonly used for illuminated switches from the 1960's thru 1980's). Those bulbs were rated for 100,000 hours of usage at 5V.
If I were you, I would go ahead and build the clock (just guessing here, but isn't that what most of us do with these vintage displays ?) for 6 digits in case you are lucky enough to find another unit, and use it as an hours:minutes display for now. BTW, I threw the clock away about 10 years ago because the stepper-relays were intermittent despite multiple attempts to clean them -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
