I wonder if there are any Nixie tube enthusiasts here... It would stand to reason that at least a few people would be drawn to Nixie clocks, given the popularity of tube amps here. This is a project I've just semi-finished for a Nixie clock. I used the QTC kit from PV Electronics and installed IN-8-2 tubes. The base is milled from a solid block of aluminum and the bottom is covered with a plexiglass plate (with air slots around the alarm and holes for the cords). I got the GPS receiver add-on that synchronizes the clock; it's the little chip in back of the clock with the suction cup mount. The finish isn't as nice as I'd like it to be, though, so I think I'll sand it and sandblast it when I get the chance...
