[time-nuts] Re: Crazy Clock

[Bill Notfaded]

Bob-

They don't hang on the wall or have mechanical movements but...
Here's one of my favorite semi analog clocks I have.
http://badnixie.com/Black_Emerald_Nixie.html

I have two modsix clocks running off the same GPS receiver wirelessly.  It
outputs 4/6 letter WORD generator, selectable Time Sync out,  integrated
GPS, Barometric Pressure, Humidity, Temp , and real  GPS coordinates.

You can see them in one of my YouTube videos below.  It's the two with
alphanumeric Nixie tubes the B-7971 and B-8971 tubes from Boroughs.  I
consider them pretty analog as pure analog GPS receiver isn't something I'm
sure anyone has tried to build ie. no integrated circuits.  If someone has
I'd love to see it:

I consider these pretty analog and nuts.  170V and you're good to go plus I
love neon plasma too!

Best Regards,

Bill
