David, I would like to get one, but….
Tindie says no stock. eBay doesn’t let me bid or even see it when I log in since you’re not shipping to the USA. Resolution?

I grabbed one, David. I'm looking forward to putting it together!

The whole thing (firmware/design) is open source, so it's ideal for a project, and for something for people who like to also fine-tune their clocks. The firmware/build instructions/KiCAD design is on my github account: https://github.com/davidmpye/VFD/wiki/Assembly-instructions In terms of features: * Either 6 tubes (as a conventional HH MM SS clock), or you can put all 8 in, and use it to display hexadecimal things, such as the time in UNIX Epoch mode (amusing, but not terribly practical!) * Each tube has a smart RGB led for bottom-lighting (as they're 'smart', each can be a different colour, so there's a nice rainbow effect etc as well as several other lighting modes based on colour) * PWM dimming of tube brightness for night time * Laser cut 3mm ply case * Microcontroller supports WiFi, so can join your network and get time from NTP, or display messages you send to it (given the limits of 7-segment displays, no M or W etc) * Battery backed real time clock * Four buttons on the back to allow setting of time/LED mode etc. * Open source hardware and software If anyone would like a kit, I can supply all the parts (inc tubes and case) - for sale via Ebay or Tindie as you prefer: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vacuum-Fluorescent-Display-Clock-Kit-IV11/153430459900 https://www.tindie.com/products/davidmpye/iv-11-vacuum-fluorescent-display-clock-kitwifi/ If anyone decides to build one (either as a kit, or off your own back etc), I'd very much appreciate comments and feedback.
