    I think a clock make with dekatron tubes would be very cool,

    That Nixie has a whole "Retro Post-Apocalyptic" feel and would certainly look at home somewhere in Fallout 4.
    you could connect it to any quartz movement, I suppose a dollar store clock was a cheap way of testing.

    Hmm, up my street that, pity they're out of stock though. Gonna do a bit more research as it mentioned something about "IN-12" replacement tubes which are "readily available online".

    started a topic Yet another Nixie tube clock.

    Yet another Nixie tube clock.

    Popular things considering they stopped making Nixie tubes about 30 years ago.

    A bit like vinyl records really.

    But lighting up rather more.

    For dear old Freako, this relates to a type of digital clock that uses those old fashioned but fashionable neon display devices termed Nixie Tubes (tm).
