Looks great.

You can tell I looked at everything, because I noticed that a New Mod-6 will be releasing. <EG>

Amazing, how did I miss that ?

When I had the good fortune to come across a set of these tubes I could not find anyone with such a board - so I made my own based on the open source PRISM design from Ian Sparkes.

Though it does have WiFi for NTP sync, full web gui, PIR activation and optional DS3231 RTC.

I used MTX-90's for the colons to kind of match the size of the tubes - my case is somewhat basic I know (I'm not very creative!).

Great concept - I love that the board is exposed like this. Your clocks are always an inspiration.

Thank you all for your kind words This one was a real labor of love with the emphasis on labor! I was shooting for a design where i could use hex stock and so this is what I settled on without being too gaudy. I'm infatuated with that the hex shape and wanted to use hex stock since I had some stock.
And I love those brass cap nuts! Not practical, but way cool! And I love fasteners! I have no qualms about making them very obvious and i think they can actually add to a design. Anyway, rambling now. Thanks. This site is and has always been a great outlet for useful feedback for all things NIXIE!

I just took another look at your site - this time scrolling down - awesome - very awesome!

New Mod-6 you say - exciting - can you advise what changes you might be making?

8091's......another form of unobtanium. How long did it take you to find those rare giants ?

Long time ago...when these were somewhat "reasonable" and Richardson actually has some in stock!!!
