    Interesting as I've been looking around. Seems to be a growing trend. Retro looking clock using Russion IN-14 tubes!

    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 :p

    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! :p

    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?
