Also good. I like the variable swing rate too. I would think it would be a small task for someone to grab the output for you chimes and trigger an off the board uC to run their own gizmo. I happen to have a uC all programmed with tunes that I'm sure will work with your new innovation. Dennis

I grabbed one off the bay because I'm headed out of the area for a bit and need to take it with me. I'm going to introduce this young guy to some electronics and then we'll move on to build this clock. I like the chime circuit. It wouldn't take much to add even more chime controls to it maybe

Just found this on eBay. 191589712959 Dennis on the other hand if you have a Ham transceiver, it likely has a lot of different voltages inside so adding 180V for a nixie may not require adding a switcher. Some Transmitting transistors run with that sort of voltage on them. --
