I agree that Radio Shack is a poor source - very limited selection of
parts. Look around your area for a surplus electronics, tools etc stores in
your area. They are all over the country. Look on your newstand for a
magazine called Nuts 'n Volts, they have many adds from surplus
I agree with one of the other posters... I think that the best place to
start is with an existing design. There are tons available on the
internet, you can order parts from mouser.com

A couple of years ago just for fun I started from
scratch and designed a nixie clock circuit from the
ground up (pun intended), that uses (6) 74HC160 counters.
How do you do the divide-by-6 digits? Just use gates to reset the counters
when they get to 6? I'm more used to using 7492 counters
I use processors and this doesn't seem elementary to me!
I wouldn't say that a microcontroller is more difficult to use than
straight logic. On the contrary, I always refer to my penchant for using
microcontrollers as cheating.. or the software engineer's way out:
Only design enough

I pick up all my parts from eBay. Takes two weeks for it to arrive but you
can't beat the price. Yes, I know there can be quality/fakes but so far the
record has been good. :)

It's certainly handy, but you can generally get things cheaper elsewhere. Of
course, I'm spoiled - when

I'm with Adam. If this is your first time out of the gate, go for the
discrete logic design. That is using 7400 series TTL, or 4000 series CMOS
logic
