Neat Inexpensive Nixie Tube Clock
Neat inexpensive Nixie tube clock. Shipping from the Ukraine was quick. It came with a European power supply, but I had a spare U.S. one that fits. This could be a problem if you don't have the correct power supply on hand. No instructions were provided so it took a few minutes to figure out how to set the time. I was planning to build a case, but I'm inclined to leave it unfinished to show off the old technology.

Looooove this clock!!
My wife and I loooove this clock. I received my first clock and it worked for 3 days and then there was an issue with the motherboard showing 55:55 all the time. I contacted the seller and within 24 hours there was another on the way. Won’t find clocks like this at this price anywhere else!

It got here pretty quickly from the Ukraine so that's a plus and packaged well. I received a power a power supply with it, but it was a European power supply so I haven't been able to try it out yet. I'm sure it's pretty cool and everything I want it to be. Will update if there's a problem. One thing I didn't realise was that it doesn't have a base, so you have to mount it yourself...no problem if you're handy. but something to think about.

Definitely "Cool"
Clock came with a power supply but no instructions. After the supplier e-mailed them to me, I was able to quickly setup the clock. The display is bright and clear. Next project- 3D printing an enclosure.
