They were part of the test equipment that my dad used at work, occasionally 
we would visit his work. Didn't think much of it when I was young in the 
1960s. although the stuff looked really neat. Some time in the 1980s, I got 
a used Bell & Howell (Heathkit) DVM with three Nixies, used it very seldom, 
but kept it around. Then around 2001 David got going with Cathode Corner, 
and all this stuff started to get interesting again. In 2002 I got one of 
his first three wristwatch boards, and also I made a TTL Nixie clock. I had 
also got a few old Beckman counters, so I made a vacuum tube digital clock 
with NE-2 display. I've been wearing the three versions of David's watch 
design since then, and looking unsuccessfully at yard sales and thrift 
stores for Nixie containing equipment.
