Re: [neonixie-l] Are here any good small alarm clocks for use on night table?

[Benoit Tourret]

When I was 12, I modified my electric quartz alarm clock to unlock the 
electric "pause" switch (2.5mm jack near the mic jack) on my cassette 
player...
waking up to music was not a habit in 1972...
For a connected Nixye clock, just add a bluetooth speaker inside, that's 
all, it will even work with an Apple...

I'll show my age with this, but look at those pretty metal T0-5
transistors! It's sad we now have ugly plastic packages such as the TO-92.

That is the exact same thing amateur radio operators need to their wives as

Re: [neonixie-l] Are here any good small alarm clocks for use on night table?

[Collin Smith]

I am Gen X and grew up with side table alarm clocks that had VFD or a n 
some cases flip cards to display numbers. These days we are using our cell 
phones to get us up. Old tube clock have been a hobby if mine for awhile, I 
would love to see one that had apple integration. I understand Apple 
licensing it would not make sense for a niche product but I wonder if there 
is an already licensed device that could be integrated.

Get some small, sticky labels and write down the date and an "eBay" price 
and put them in a discreet place.  Let your heirs know and they can make a 
more knowledgeable decision.
