    Yes, Axiom manufacturers the Bryston speakers to their specs. Pretty cool.

    FWIW, the Nixie clock is an old thing. Heck, I've actually got one here :) It's not up and running only because I've been too lazy to add an isolation transformer to it. The one I have runs straight off the AC mains, so it's a teeny bit lethal if someone happened to grab it while well grounded. :/

    Why the fug do people put LEDs under vacuum tubes?!?!?!?!?!?!???? :(
    What is wrong with humanity in 2019? ;)


    The really cool nerds are goin' with oscilloscope clocks:

    There was a VERY cool video floating around the forum IIRC about 2 or 3 years ago showing the building of the nixie clock tubes. Think Dan @EndersShadow posted it, but I could be wrong...

    heck, fire - when I was in grad school we had numerous pieces of equipment that used them!

    Packard Tri-Carb liquid scintillation counters and old LKB Instruments fraction collectors fairly leap to mind.

    I can't even find a photo of the old LKB FC with Nixies. I am so disappointed. :(

    (although, pack rat that he was, I would NOT be surprised that my thesis advisor might still have it squirreled away someplace) :)

    They stand out with that lens on the front fenders. I thought it was a picture of that music bar you linked too a few days ago.

    Then I saw that lens... :DB) I like that green color a lot!

    What's going on with the hood vents? They come with those now?

    It's that early morning light that you get when you leave the house at 6am for a morning drive and then make a stop somewhere at about 8am when the sun is coming up.

    I'm familiar with it, as well as the feeling I get when I go out for a satisfying morning canyon carving session, and have a fantastic drive free of any traffic.

    I think that's why I like the photo so much, because I've literally experienced the same thing that that owner has.
