[time-nuts] Clock Project Help

Mike, If you want Nixie tubes and 7441, I probably can dig out more than  
you ever want. You would have to pay for shipping.   Bert

Thanks  David for that information.  I am not sure I want to go to the
expense  of the Nixie tubes, but those are very cool looking clocks indeed

the  opening for the story would go something like:  "In the days  before
there were LEDs..."

I have looked into the sites you mention  and hope they can help me find
those parts.

Thanks  again,

Mike

J.,

There is  an entire cottage industry for making nixie tube clocks. 
These devices are  beautiful to look at and they complement any decor.

There's a Yahoo  group called NeoNixie that discusses them. Two 
members of this group that  sell clocks and kits (and have impressed 
me with their technical skill)  are:

http://www.chronotronix.com/
http://www.tayloredge.com/

And  there are many more out there.

I'm not selling nixie clocks myself any  more, though.
