The clock has arrived!  It's Huge!  
It seems like the clock was in the process of being stripped for parts when 
it was saved.  The tens of hours board was covered in nasty flux, probably 
the plumbing kind.  I've cleaned it up and put it back in.
I've created a schematic for the display board and will start working on a 
replacement.  While the display boards are all the same the control boards 
attached to the back of them are all different depending on which digits 
are needed.  I can tell this is a 12 hour clock since the tens of hours 
digit can't form a 2, interestingly most for the tubes on that board have 
never been used.
Since the display boards and the controller boards are separate I can 
replicate the display board the way it is.  I will create a replacement 
control board for my clock and will also create a more modern control board 
for use with the spare display boards I will have. 

The IN-28 is an odd nixie, it runs at a higher voltage and has a control 
grid.  All the groups of control grids are connected to the HV supply 
through a 3.9M resistor and to the chips through a 1M resistor.  I'll have 
to figure out what all these chips are and find a modern equivalent.
If any Russian speaking members of the group can help identifying the chips 
I would be super grateful.
