Anyone come across Royworld before? Modern beat combo - found them by complete accident.

Nice to see another NixiSat has surfaced.  For the newer members, the NixiSat was my first commercial GPS referenced clock from 2002, and used Z568 nixies.

Was that a dig at me by any chance :)

Two days and its still not locked (as you expected). Looking forward to the parcel... 

EDIT: Probably should explain - I de-mothballed my NixiSat (6xZ5680) last weekend (after 8 years in the loft) and am trying to get it going again. It is a truly magnificent clock - immensely impressive but the original Motorola GPS pucks seem to sometimes have problems, so its being upgraded to a more modern one...

Again by accident, while looking for cheap cheesy singles for my jukeboxes, I found copies of the UK band Royworld's 7" single on UK ebay for 99p plus 50p UK postage. Cheap enough to throw at the cat and make the baby laugh.
They have 7 copies available.


Jeff might want one as a souvenir, just for the cover. Happy to blag some copies and send them on to US at cost, if anyone is interested,

John

Not quite - I supplied them with this - it's one of your boards with some firmware I wrote to do a
countdown clock as part of a "fake bomb" type prop :

HI Mike - Hope you got those tubes back and that they're not languishing in the back of some props cupboard :)
