Nice pic Nick!
Carl and Michael did do a fantastic job on these pieces. I'm enjoying mine
and really loving the Black Emerald. Nice to finally see the 8971's lit up.
I have 4 clocks tied to my Wireless PIR.

Hi Bill,
Looking for direct drive clock that can also generate words since these
tubes are alphanumeric. I have zero programming skills so hoping something

Anyone know where I can find a power cord for an old HP Frequency Counter

I've checked Ebay and some are stupid expensive, almost as much as I paid

Mahdi,
Not multiplexed.
Direct drive digits or segments are always on and not pulsed at high speeds
like in multiplexing. Direct driven tubes typically are brighter and
require less current. Multiplexed designs are simpler and require less
components which is cheaper.

Nice that they still sell the NE-2's with the 60mm leads. Really wish
someone would offer those with even longer leads so you don't have to
extend the wire when making clocks with larger tubes.

I have a clock that has some glowing lead wires from the glass seal to
where it connects to the individual cathodes. This doesn’t happen on every
cathode in the tube.
I know this can happen if too much current is applied but these tubes are
running at the rated current or below when using

Gotta be one of the ugliest tubes out there IMHO. Anode mesh is very
coarse and the cathodes are thick and obstruct each other. Guess people
are paying for scarcity and the rounded top.
Z568M / Z5680M or Dalibor tubes way nicer and cheaper.
My guess $1600 for the lot.

That eBayer has been selling a lot of Nixie related clocks, tubes, etc
along with sex toys. From what I can tell he must be a liquidator and I
presume bought out a Nixie collection from someone who either passed away
or decided to get out of the hobby.
On Thursday, September 1, 2022 at
This seller is some kind of estate liquidator I'm convinced of that. Some
of the clocks he sold could be traced by serial numbers and the original
buyer has since passed away. Again, this is my speculation based on the
deceased and where this seller is located, both in Northern New Jersey,
Speaking of Jeff's stuff, does anyone have a manual or any documentation
for that matter on this clock?
