Zen clock with a new look

[MichaelB]

Dalibor's beautiful Zen clock and his exceptional tubes and colon towers in a new set of clothes. I added PIR with a bypass switch, and a WiFi extension for the Photon, but generally just moved stuff around to accommodate the new base.

Here's some more pics. Finally added this guy to my site.  http://badnixie.com/Farney_Zen_clock_modified.html

It looks amazing as always Michael.  Your bases are the best brother!  Dang!  The color is perfect.  I honestly am learning about tool and die but I bow to your skills.

How about some hints on future projects?  I've been saving up more 7971's just in case. 😁

I've got a 6 digit B-8091 clock I'm building with PV electronics from Pete with two OG-4 dekatrons.  So you think you could help me come up with something to house and base them all?  I'm still not sure how the dekatrons work with other tubes... I assume it's some pendulum thing... Should be here fairly soon... Pete ordered the special B-8091 tube boards for me. (Thanks again Nick for the lead on these)  I've got some vintage rainbow ribbon cable from 1976 I wanted to use in it for the tubes since the PV is built to use ribbon cables.  I wonder if an exposed innards might be cool?

Best Regards,

Bill

Thanks for the kudos. I had a nice product to start with just did a variation on the theme.

Carl and I are working on another 7971 mod-six’ish’ clock with different accoutrements, but it may be a while…like all our stuff, right! 

I have some more of those 8091’s too…trying to think of an alternative design. The tube boards are nothing to build, and Pete’s electronics work to drive most any sort of tube. Heck, I used his innards to drive my F9020AA clock and they continue to run without a hitch. You’ll need some help with the Dekatrons tho, if you want to use those, that I can't provide.

Very nice build! Do you plan the small run of Streamline clocks? Just to know - I would start saving for one :-)

Cheers, Dalibor

Top quality job as usual Michael!

Thx Dalibor. I should. That is one of my favorites based on the NixiSat board.
