Disclaimer : Think it's really cool. Probably won't buy.

The Presto one I "won" on the boardwalk in Atlantic City (playing Skee Ball and modified Bally 873 slots) in 1988 still works pretty good for me. Have to plug it into 115 VAC though.

Quoted from Thermionic:

Nixie clock kit consisting of all discrete components (around 1400!). Complete overkill (parts AND labor!) for keeping time, but it looks cool and should be fun to build. I have the kit (very nice PCB and manual) but have not started yet.

They are so mesmerizing.

Quoted from snakesnsparklers:

Looks interesting, but why does he say an oscilloscope is required to build it?

The high voltage power supply steps the tube voltage to 160+ volts. The oscillator circuit has to be tuned by varying some capacitors. You have to view the frequency, If you just check output voltage, the circuit could self-destruct soon after the clock is built and put into service.

Love the flyer for the Stern book in a thread about throwing away money. Nice touch.

As Pat Lawlor said during the Dialed In reveal: "Details matter".
