I think I'll suggest that he reposts and sells them singly. Maybe he should 
put them on Etsy as antiques, there seem to be a lot of monied folk over 
there.

 No bidders came forward to start at $2500 US. It's amusing to watch the

 price was probably too high.

[neonixie-l] All valve/tube clock

2014-10-06 Thread Grahame Marsh

Hi

I have been working on a new trigger tube clock that uses the Z700U 
trigger tube.  This tube has a priming electrode so works in complete 
darkness.  Results are very good.  Details are here:

[neonixie-l] Re: Finished restoring a TIMEON 2000, motor driven Nixie clock from 1968!

2014-10-06 Thread gregebert
I must say the mechanical time-counting mechanism is ingenious (see the 
photos in the original posting). Unfortunately, that's the root of the 
problem if the clock is losing time.
My best guess is that occasionally when the tens-minutes advances, it's 
somehow preventing the units-minutes from fully advancing.

Reminds me of a clock I made years ago with 10-position stepper-relays (it 
was originally a 5-digit voltmeter with incandescent bulbs). It worked, 
and was very amusing to listen to it clicking-away at the top-of-the-hour 
when it had to advance the tens-minutes. 12-noon was quite a show But 
the relays were not sealed, so the contacts developed surface-corrosion and 
made intermittent contact, which caused the clock to lose time. After 20+ 
years of occasional usage I finally tossed it.
