Re: [neonixie-l] Video with nixies display in old secret place

My $0.02 here "Tomorrowland" was the inspiration for my first-and-only IN-18 clock I created. It even has a pushbutton to turn on the clock made from a tomorrowland souvenir pin. My wife instantly recognized the nixie clock in the movie and gave me strict orders to make on for her. --
