Re: [neonixie-l] Re: Zen clock with a new look
Thanks for the kudos. I had a nice product to start with just did a variation on the theme. Carl and I are working on another 7971 mod-six’ish’ clock with different accoutrements, but it may be a while…like all our stuff, right! I have some more of those 8091’s too…trying to think of an alternative design. The tube boards are nothing to build, and Pete’s electronics work to drive most any sort of tube. Heck, I used his innards to drive my F9020AA clock and they continue to run without a hitch. You’ll need some help with the Dekatrons tho, if you want to use those, that I can't provide.

Re: [neonixie-l] Re: Zen clock with a new look
It looks amazing as always Michael. Your bases are the best brother! Dang! The color is perfect. I honestly am learning about tool and die but I bow to your skills. How about some hints on future projects? I've been saving up more 7971's just in case. I've got a 6 digit B-8091 clock I'm building with PV electronics from Pete with two OG-4 dekatrons. So you think you could help me come up with something to house and base them all? I'm still not sure how the dekatrons work with other tubes... I assume it's some pendulum thing...

Has anyone ever done anything with either the 8 or 14 digit Pandicons? They seem to go for some decent money, but I've yet to see them implemented.

Yep, I thought about trying before, but as you know, you get those really fine steel particles when you use it. Not good around electronic stuff.

Fine steel wool should work, also. It's not really an abrasive, either.
