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.

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!

Hi, there,
I'm Al, from the States. I've been lurking around here for a few
months, but thought to introduce myself. I'm certainly no
electrical engineer, but I fell in love early with vacuum tubes of
all shapes and sizes. I've messed with Nixies, Boroughs, Magic
Eyes, Dekatrons, the list goes on. I started out buying and
assembling a few of Pete's kits, then slowly began building my own
clocks, calculators, and radios from the PCB up, mostly using
Dalibor's tubes. It's been a real great journey so far, and i've
got a long way to go. It's great to be here

Greetings all,
I have been an addict for over two years now. I started in
electronics in 1980 then moved to software, Mostly Z80
Assembler and 6502 (as a hobby). I spent the rest of my career
in supporting laser printers until I became self employed in
1997. In recent years I discovered Arduino and combined that
with my hobbyist interest in electronics. When looking for
something else (and I cannot remember what) I discovered Nixie
Tubes and am now totally addicted.
I started with a PV QTC Kit and have built several more since
as well as Spectrum 1040, 1080 and 568, Elite, DINK, Quattro,
Halo and FunKlock I have also built kits from Ian Sparkes and
Paul Andrews and I also have a few Paul Andrews Single Tube
clocks, Now I have started my own tube collection. I am the
proud owner of a MOD-6 and have some spare tubes and a stack
of 'Smart Sockets' that I will be putting together at some point.
Along the way I have learnt to use KiCad, EeasyEDA, Solid Edge
2019 and CNC Routers (handy for case designs).
I have also been lucky to meet many talented and helpful
individuals in several corners of the globe that have helped
me with my stupid questions and ideas and have helped bring my
ideas to life.
I am of course running out of organs to sell. The recent post
regarding the sale of two B-7971's for over $500 is
staggering, especially when I hear the tales of those who
purchased them for around $7 a pair back in the day.
In the UK, as a youngster I used to purchase Practical
Wireless magazine before moving on to Electronics Today
International and it was a PW project that was my first ever
clock build - it was a 4 x 7 segment LED clock based on the
AY-5-1224 clock IC. I don't remember seeing any adds for Nixie
Tubes at that time, but, if I knew then what I know now!

Ladies & Gentlemen,,,
We are getting a steady stream of new members - it'd be
great if, instead of just lurking, you could introduce
yourselves with a bit of detail about your interests, what
you've built or intend to build/dream of building. Even
what gets you up the morning and makes you smile!
Even existing members (there are over 1,000) could chip in
- there's some great stuff around...
Welcome, one and all to this great community!
Nick
