Newbie Here ... Is this nixie clock design and ebay seller vfdclock good to deal with?
Or can someone offer their assembly services (will pay) to build a kit? I am in northern California. I need a fully assembled clock as I have zero electronic skills. Photos and link below for a IN-14 t-tube digit nixie tube clock I am considering for feedback if good or bad idea. Also, are these worthwhile options to add onto a nixie clock? 1. IR Remote Control Function(With 1PCS Remote Control ): +5.99 USD; 2.For Temperature Sensor Function:+5.99USD; 3.For 1PCS High Quality Brand 5V/1A USB Power Adapter: +5.99 USD ---> (is this what is needed to plug into AC power?) 4. MCU programmer (For updating the firmware) +5.99USD; Ebay link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Design-Pluggable-V1-2-1-USB-Powered-IN-14-6-Tube-NIXIE-Clock-NIXIE-TUBE-ERA-/131583441574 Seller has 611 reviews at 100%, documentation in proper english, and protected by ebaby / paypal - a good thing as this is an international purchase from China. My dream nixie clock has the following characteristics, the most important being a 1" or so display as I'm 61 so my tired old eye's need a display to see from 12' away as I sit on the sofa. The IN-14 the ebay seller has display of 18mm (11/16") high so am willing to go bigger, but not smaller in size. Want a minimalist clean look with the board viable with a clear case for safety, LED accents under tubes, a lighted colon separator between hour, min and seconds. I also like the tube shape of IN-14 and IN-18. The ebay model listed has the ability to do firmware updates, which I really like for future flexibility. The nixie clock will sit on top of my stereo equipment. If there are any nixie clock builders (especially in the San Francisco Bay Area where I can buy locally) who has a clock to sell as pictured, or willing to build one for me, I will pay for the kit and your services. PM me with questions. Look forward to your collective thoughts. Happy new year! ron PS Is this forum about neon signs as well? I am working on a custom neon sign design for my pinball game room and love to trade ideas. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
