I really like minimal invasion when doing a conversion - although that might be
tougher with nixies than with CRTs.
What if you actually kept this unit as a distance measuring device, and built a
stepper-driven mechanical slide (like the head of a printer) that would be
stepped to represent

Quite inexpensive if you have ever tried scientific glassblowing.

I can't wait for Nick de Smith to make me one, now he has the skillset.
You can't fill a Klein bottle with anything as there is no inside to fill.
Anymore than you can colour in a Moebius strip with two colours without
them touching.

I've tried glassblowing. It's incredibly hard and those prices seem

Looks like it's from a CMM. Had a similar unit at last employer. Lost track
of it 25 years ago when they upgraded to LED units.

I agree with the minimally invasive route. Is this a digital caliper of
some sort? In which case there would have been a device plugged into that
input with which to do the measuring. If you have that and it works then a
physical representation of the time is a neat idea, if you can drive it
with
That will almost certainly take a quadrature input from a encoder and
increment / decrement from that, so you could make a circuit to pulse it up
and down to simulate time without modifying it at all. That would be a
challenge at least. The Quadrature input will almost certainly give +5v and
12 matches
