This has been my projects over the last few weeks. sourcing nixie tubes has been a pain in the bottom.
If you are thinking of making one of these yourself, Believe me its worth it. i could take a million pictures and videos and it still would not show the beauty of these in action. All of the kits look stunning.,
Warning to purchasing Nixie tubes. only go for (NOS) New Old Stock, look carefully at the pictures to make sure they have nice long legs that do not look as if they have been soldered.
PLEASE, PLEASE be careful 220 volts Hurts and even kills.
Ok to the links.

I was hoping to have this clock back in time for this video. It had a fault with an onboard power chip. The clock was eratic until it stopped completely. Build quality was fantastic. you just had to add an arduino uno / mega. fully built clocks are available but at a price. Also i get more enjoyment knowing i built it.
