Hello! I'm Hannah and I am in NYC. I am really interested in old technologies as they correlate to modern ideas. I am currently working on a VFD build (no Nixie specific experience) and playing with a flying spot scanner! Here is a blog on my VFD project. https://hannahmishin.com/blog/2017/4/30/russian-tri-color-vfd-indicator-clock I am an Open Source Hardware supporter and believe in the sharing of knowledge (its how I know so much of what I do). Cheers!
