Just take with the chance of implosion - the glass really can fly about.
Watch out for diamond rings...

  Subject: [neonixie-l] My CRT Clock


  Hello My name is Bill Barnes. I have been a long time lurker in this group. 
I've been building NIXIE clocks for quite a few years and am amazed at the 
level of engineering expertise in this group. I fall into more of the 
technician / hobbiest category of builders and work as an instrumentation 
technician for Air Force flight test. My clocks are built and modified from 
kits. I am a fan follower of David Forbes and appreciate his design and coding 
skills. I really loved his CRT clock in the Plexiglass tube and decided a few 
years ago to try my own hand at some CRT Clocks. My clocks are based on the AVR 
O-clock board that was offered by Sparkfun. (unfortunately no longer available) 
and the Ultra simple O-scope power supply and deflection amp circuit by Jon 
Stanley. I have attached some pictures of one of my clocks. I really enjoy 
following this group.

Re: [neonixie-l] Is this a coincidence or what?

Don’t you store your “Tiger Rags” in a “Dixie tube” ? I’m dissapointed.


(Sorry I just couldn’t resist creating this pun)

Could this book have something to do with the naming of Nixies?

https://www.etsy.com/listing/85929141/vintage-childrens-dog-book-the-four


The title is: "Pixie, Dixie, Trixie, and Nixie" and it is written by Dorothy 
and Marguerite Bryan and supposedly published in 1950. Burroughs made a Pixie 
tube, a Trixie socket for the Pixie tube and also Nixies, however I haven't 
heard of a Dixie though.
