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:
The poseurs of course, are using the digitally synthesized variety

On the other hand, I just heard someone on the radio* use the word synecdoche (correctly) and even pronounced it correctly. And he wasn't even talking about vinyls

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...
I'm too lazy this morning to look for it! -

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... I like that green color a lot!
What's going on with the hood vents? They come with those now?Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them. -
Nah, this one is heavily modded. Teal wrap, hood vents, etc.
Just liked the lighting and composition of this photo. -
It's in high def. for sure. It's like standing right there across the street. Super clear! I like the lighting too. Poster pic. for sure.Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.
-
Agree. The picture has a certain surreal lighting going on
-
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. -
For any of you who don't get cats, this exchange crystallizes the whole cat deal pretty well, I'd opine.

^^^ is one of those folks you, @OleBoot? The image is kinda small for these presbyopic eyes.

Now, I am not a JBL maven, but is it common and normal for vintage JBL monitors to include grinning death heads as part of their internal damping scheme?
