To think I threw out an old nixie tube powered frequency counter a few years back - if I'd known I'd at least kept the tubes.  Ah well.

If it becomes mainstream I bet the Chinese will start manufacturing nixie tubes...


uggh... ive been wanting to build one for, hmm, in excess of 10 yrs now!

i know i should have done it by now, but ive been otherwise engaged! ; )

I no longer want to build a nixie clock.


My desire has had an 'upgrade' -

That's cool.  Are they done raster scan or vector?

I recently (shed space clearance) had to dispose of my old valve twin-beam scope (ex Sellafield!).  It was a rather sad moment, but can't keep everything.
