Those are the tubes and clocks I was thinking about. I've recently put back together some old pieces and got this running. The tubes are good... I like to find them with perfect coating still on the tubes and that isn't ago easy but the best I've found are from Poland or old collectors. I use

Not NixiSat boards with other tubes, but the smaller NixiChron boards, yes. I've built a few 8091 clocks with NixiChron electronics. Lately I've found the PV electronics seem to lend themselves better to driving other big tubes than the NixiChrons. Pete's PS seems to have a bit more moxie than

Oh and Michael... Another masterpiece brother! Your 1000% right about Dalibor too. When you're closer to finalizing the new clocks let me know. I've got a rack of B-7971 now and some are just waiting for when you're ready again. I also recently reread and figured out you've used the NixieSat

Agreed. Dalibor has got the numerals down pretty darn perfect, and they’re a bargain compared to these. But you really can’t beat the originals. Too bad the 5680’s and M’s are still so ridiculously expensive. On Sunday, June 2, 2019 at 9:07:06 AM UTC-7, Kevin A. wrote: > > That is a gorgeous tim
