Wow! Now that is a project built for sheer love of doing it. I guess a lot of people would say "Why bother?" when you could just buy a quartz LCD clock module for less than $10, but that would miss the whole point of the exercise!

And I love Nixie tubes. [Linked Image] I have an old Solartron digital meter with them sitting in a cupboard -- one of those projects I'm going to "get around to" eventually.
