Odd critter but I like the odd ones. Very noisy yes. I've been thinking about a relay switched nixie but no where to run it. I'm sure the wife would love it. Great to see you got it going. Try it in the guest bedroom! On Sunday, February 2, 2014 1:27 PM, Dave Brown tract...@ihug.co.nz

Very true, reeds would work but I was thinking on the lines of old telephone stepper relays. Pretty easy to use just hard to find. Build the right box to quiet it down some I guess. Like an old TTY box. On Sunday, February 2, 2014 6:42 PM, Dekatron42 martin.forsb...@gmail.com wrote: You

Or maybe he would have covered it with a swastika and pissed onto it :-) "The Great Rock and Roll Swindle" is the main reason I haven't thrown out my VCR yet. Not that I play that tape on a daily (or even annual) bases, but I know without a VCR I can't play the original tape anymore :-).
