It had lived in the rack in my office until last spring, when we did some reorganizing and I ended up moving the rack to the basement. My ears appreciate the change, but unfortunately I no longer get to look at the beautiful VFD on the 7001.

It has a DC-DC power supply (accepting 18-36v input) and an RS-232 interface card. It can also simulate DCF77 I believe, I always wanted to get a European radio clock and test this but I never got around to it.
