Very nice clock and brilliant case Thinking about buildinh a 4 digit clock with these tubes, since i got one of these tubes last week. Beautiful piece. About making Cases: I made a few cases, mostly for non-nixie project but that doesen't matter really Wooden Material is usually very budget

I spend as much time designing & building the case as I do designing, building, and debugging the electronics. Remember, you're NOT just making a clock; it's a work of art. I won't debate using wood vs metal, glass, plastic, 3D print, etc. Challenge yourself by trying unfamiliar materials, but

Really nice. I think most people here know how to tackle the electronics needed to build something Nixie-based, but I for one lack a lot of knowledge in building an eye catching case. Would you (plural) share some words of wisdom on case forging for tube based clocks? Materials, cutting,

This looks absolutely amazing. Hats off to both you and Dalibor! Now all we need from Dalibor is actual colon ":" tubes for clocks. Everytime I see one of Dalibor's tubes, I am still amazed that they are hand made. They are perfect! Cheers Jens On 5/7/2016 10:49 PM, Nicholas Stock wrote:

Hi Jeff! Yep, it's a PV Spectrum board. Pete put two extra RGB points on the board so I buried two LED's in the acrylic layer. The little voltmeter measures the HV as you guessed and the two buttons are the HV defeat and LED defeat. Nick Sent from my iPhone > On May 7, 2016, at 18:10, Jeff

Nick, What a gorgeous job! Those tubes look really great! It looks like one of the PV clocks with some extra circuitry beneath the main board. Are you monitoring the HV and other functions with the three digit display? Jeff -Original Message- From: neonixie-l@googlegroups.com
