In this member response: “Buying (enjoy it now) vs building (it will take about 1 year, and a lot of your time) can be a tough decision.” I think that the term “building” is maybe meaning to design. You can buy a kit that can be built in several hours with great results...

I wont confess how much I've spent completing 4 nixie clock designs the past 6 years, but to give you a rough idea each run for a PCB is at least $100 ($300 for a large board), another $100 for parts, easily $50 for the case. And then there's tubes. So it's conceivable you would spend as much, and probably more, doing your own design versus buying. Buying (enjoy it now) vs building (it will take about 1 year, and a lot of your time) can be a tough decision. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
