Hi Peter, I bought one and the acrylic case way back, and your clock still going strong. I too, feel you should make more, I would be interested again! Regards, Don S Sent from my iPad > On Oct 2, 2018, at 6:31 AM, Nick wrote: > > They were great clocks Pete - I've got 3 - still got a couple

They were great clocks Pete - I've got 3 - still got a couple of boards left over from the European distribution list. I'm sure if you made up another batch they'd go like hot cakes - I use PCBway now and boards (good quality) are s cheap. Nick On Tuesday, 2 October 2018 11:01:59 UTC+4, pe

Pete Hand here. I've been a member of the group for at least ten years but I hardly ever post. I just scan the digest and log in if I see something of interest. I'm a retired EE. I'm probably best known here for my Four Letter Word designs, which I created because I had promised my daughter a We

Hi, I'm Tomasz. I'm one of the youngest in here - being born after the end of production of nixie tubes, even in USSR. I've made my first contact with nixies while studying - Warsaw University of Technology is still using Meratronik equipment, because it is considered idiotproof - and first yea

My name is Nick and I'm a nixieholic. There, I've said it...I've heard that admitting the problem is 50% of the solution, but I digress... I'm not an EE by trade, but my dad is and I blame him. It started when I built my first stereo (a John Linsley Hood Mosfet Amp from an Electronics Today Intern

Hi all, I'm Morris, here in Melbourne Australia. My first degree was in Electrical Engineering and although I changed careers to something quite different a few years later I have retained an interest in electronic and mechanical engineering. I started making nixie clocks about 20 years ago and

Hey All, My name is Ron, and I have been fascinated by Nixie tubes since I saw them in the 80's. When I learned that I could build my own Nixie clock, I ordered a kit from eBay, and some tubes from Russia. Then I found Petes clocks, over at www.pvelectronics.co.uk, I have built a few of his ki

Hello, I am Dalibor, my background is software develpment / running own businesses. I met nixie tubes first time in 2011 at age of 27 and they immediately became my full-time obsession. Like most of you, I also wanted to build a clock with large tubes - but I came too late, Z568M and bigger one

My background is technical/scientific with a very broad reach, which reflects my diverse interests. My day job though, is software engineering. I can't remember when I first saw a Nixie clock, but at the time they were out of my price range. Fast forward to a few years ago, and they suddenly se

Hi, I'm Paul and I started making Nixie clocks late 2013, I remember taking a calculator apart in the late 1970's that had Nixies in, and they have stayed with me ever since! I took what was a hobby at the time, into a a full scale business, and I now make Nixie clocks for a living, and run Bad
