Victorian Tantalus Clock

[Roddy Scott]

It has been a while since I posted anything here so I will remedy it with one of the clocks I have made recently.

I wanted to design a clock that was Victorian looking in style and as the Victorians had a penchant for putting things under glass domes why not put some Nixies under glass domes?

The clock uses a PV Spectrum 1040 board with everything remotely mounted including the tubes as I wanted them central on the base part. A few hand made bits of brass and a lick of paint then it all distressed to give it some age.

Caught in mid change for the seconds digit

The control plate with an added power on LED

The Frankenstein switch that controls the RGBs

'DINKing' a Spectrum board to get what I wanted

Very nice clock! It would be real cool this you set the time using the clock keys on top of the domes. I know, I am always asking for the impossible, or at least very hard. The clock is quite pretty and very cool :)
