Reviving a 16 year old project - Nixie Clock

Post by tlaskows »

I started this some 16 years ago, it was basically finished just missing the proper casing.

There were a lot of loose wires and I could not find the original schematics and it looks like I did some custom additions. (Custom power supply and added seconds as well).

Anyways, it's digital. But the tubes are analog. I don't think they make any sound though, but very easy on the eyes :)

Oh yeah,

This is the soldering job using a 10$ beat up iron. Just proves that you can do anything with a tool. I have a proper rework station sitting in the basement, but haven't plugged it in yet...

Eh Nestor, analog even looks nicer :) None of that cold LED/LCD stuff. These tubes glow nice orange at 300 volts.

Cheers,
