No. I stuck at six NL7037. Now my single tube clock has a NL934 :-). Well 
right now it has something else plugged into it...

It does look like a monoblock tube amp for sure.  The tubes, obviously,

https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F260959454790

These particular ones include the backlight which is an incandescent bulb. They 
are also the smallest I could find. There are slightly bigger ones that look 
the same that you can take the back off, then you could stuff any kind of light 
in there you like, assuming the display is translucent I guess.

You can also get LED backlit meters.

I couldn’t find a DC meter with a suitable scale, so I just bought the AC one 
and put a suitable resistor in series. I had bought one of the bigger ones to 
see how they make them into AC meters, and it is basically just a diode.

These kinds of meter are used in some tube amps for “adjusting the bias”, so 
they are really specced for that purpose. On AliExpress you can get the bigger 
ones with almost any spec you like.

Re: [neonixie-l] Re: NL7037 clock

[martin martin]

it's a nice little neon!
Question:  Where did you get those cool tiny meters?  I had thought to
install a small non-digital volt meter on one of my clocks.
Also, what did you use for a back-light?

Custom job from protocase, I used their 5-sided enclosure in aluminum. I was 
intending to use raw finish and polish it up, but it arrived brushed so I left 
it like that.

The LDR is read by the ESP32 which uses the value to dim the nixies and the 
LEDs. The meters don't dim - the power comes straight from the 6V3 filament 
winding for them. The little neon is a mains power indicator. It is wired 
straight across the inputs (with a suitable resistor). It was a safety 
feature when I was bread-boarding this thing. Now, when the clock display 
is turned off, you can see power is still applied because that still glows.

Re: [neonixie-l] Re: NL7037 clock

[Paul Andrews]

It took me a couple of years to find the tubes. I got them for a bit less 
than the price of R|Z568 tubes.

I hear you about design choices. I really don't have space for all the 
clocks I have now, but this one was a labor of love.
