I’ve been slowly making clocks for my stock of Nixie tubes. Thought you guys might be interested in a quick write up I posted for a clock I made using CD27 tubes https://www.nixies.us/clocks/rodan-cd27-nixie-clock/

How many football fields long is that clock? Your pictures don't show the scale

Oh wow, that looks great! I love how big it is. Well done! I'm a huge fan of end-view tubes but the biggest (only) end-view tubes I've worked with are IN-2s.  :-) 

TIL that JLCPCB has a 3d print service. Also nice!

Very Nice Paul, how stable are those little TNI-1.5D tubes?

No problems with stability. I dim them like I dim the CD27 and fade them in and out and there is no flicker. I think the grid anode really helps.

Good to know. These might be a candidate for future clocks!  I've had intermittent luck with INS-1's, as have most! Thanks!
