That's a really neat clock Bill. Despite the life of the tubes they're so interesting that I too wanted to have some and light them up... it's hard when you love nixie tubes to not want to find some unique ones and both of these I'd say fall into that category for sure! Is clock-it.net your website Bill? Wow I'm really impressed with some of your fabrication ingenuity if it is! The self built IN-18 tube socket made from polymorph poured into what looks like an old scotch tape center reel... great idea.
