Very nice!  And cheap...not!  I don't think I even have that many of those
tubes.  The price has been going straight up.  Have just a few of teh IN-9
too.

Very nice. 

I'm very curious to know what problems you had with the tubes. I hear that 
there's a lot of variation among them. Did you have to buy extra tubes and then 
test them until you had enough that worked properly?

Can you share the schematic for the part of the circuit that's driving the 
tube? I'm always looking for the most reliable way to do that.

Have you decided if you will be offering kits? Maybe just the electronics 
and software? As a current owner of both a Gen1 and Gen5 mod-six I would 
love to update for the new features. However, the spousal approval factor 
of purchasing another large clock isn't there. The new clock is awesome BTW.

Thanks!

Hi Joe

I had the brass work done by an engraving company. Not cheap though!
