Regarding your thoughts for a new clock – for a larger tube clock that is well designed and supported, I would look at the IN-18 Blue Dream from Nocrotec.com or the Spectrum Series large tube clocks from PVElectronics.co.uk. An advantage of PV is that you can purchase the electronics and cases from one single source. The Blue Dream has to be purchased through a couple vendors – I think due to regulations in Germany for agency approval requirements. You still need to get the tubes from another source or use your existing tubes from an older clock that you want to update. PV Electronics has convenient support for DST. Both have GPS support. The PV menus are easier to follow, IMHO, and the features are more robust. The Blue Dream from Nocrotec has a more pleasing colon fade on/off. If you are looking for a wide variety of tube options or to use larger tubes like the 568, I would definitely look to PV Electronics. Pete from PV will absolutely take care of you. If you have the budget to purchase some beautiful tubes, PV Electronics has a kit that supports the Dalibor Farny 568 tubes, which are a work of art!

I have product(s) and good experience with these sources and would recommend them for quality and support. There are a lot of other sources if you are looking for smaller clocks. Jeff From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of David Glover-Aoki Sent: Wednesday, May 18, 2016 9:06 PM To: neonixie-l Subject: [neonixie-l] Jeff Thomas GPSII I have a Jeff Thomas GPSII clock, and the firmware in it is quite old. I had always intended on getting a new chip from him, but of course that is no longer possible. Is there anywhere else I can obtain/purchase a chip with the last known firmware in it? On a related note: I'm vaguely interested in buying a new clock in the near future. Are there any recommended vendors who match the quality of Jeff's clocks?
