Hello My name is Bill Barnes. I have been a long time lurker in this group. I've been building NIXIE clocks for quite a few years and am amazed at the level of engineering expertise in this group. I fall into more of the technician / hobbiest category of builders and work as an instrumentation technician for Air Force flight test. My clocks are built and modified from kits. I am a fan follower of David Forbes and appreciate his design and coding skills. I really loved his CRT clock in the Plexiglass tube and decided a few years ago to try my own hand at some CRT Clocks. My clocks are based on the AVR O-clock board that was offered by Sparkfun. (unfortunately no longer available) and the Ultra simple O-scope power supply and deflection amp circuit by Jon Stanley. I have attached some pictures of one of my clocks. I really enjoy following this group.

Just take with the chance of implosion - the glass really can fly about.
Watch out for diamond rings...

That's nice Bill! I really like the sheer nakedness of an exposed CRT. (Danger aside)
