Yep, they're back, the third edition of our very popular Nixie Clocks- and we only have 20 for sale!! Let's go back in time......Nixie tube displays predate LED and LCD displays and have a real "space age" look about them. These were the "digital" display tubes that you used to see when watching the Apollo missions in the 60's. In fact some of these tubes were originally NASA ones from Cape Kennedy, dated 1969! Inside a glass tube, ten filaments are shaped to form the digits 0 - 9 which when lit give off a warm orange / violet glow that can be read from quite a distance. We've made a variation on Nixie No.1- this time in clear perspex showing you all those luvverly circuit boards. Just look at the way the tubes are fitted-pure magic!! Turn it upside down and see the beauty of the artistic design we call the electronics...and just to finish it off we have a pierced metal grille at the front...mmmmmm, NICE!!These clocks can work in 12hr or 24hr mode.The nixie's are NEW OLD STOCK. The designer has a clock with the same tubes that has been running continuously for over 12 years showing no signs of ageing. Accuracy is within a second or two per week controlled internally by a quartz crystal.For safety, the clock is powered by a low voltage plug in "wall wart" power supply. Taking orders for these now!!
