Nixie Clocks

Nixie tubes were used in the olden days (1950's-1970's) in numeric displays on scientific equipment (I saw some used as floor numbers in an elevator recently, too). They have a strange, ethereal, organic glow that is missing from our modern LED and LCD displays. The tubes haven't been made in years, but there is still a pretty good supply of surplus New Old Stock around, especially from Russia. Mostly they are used to make clocks now. Most of these look like bad science experiments or bachelor pad accessories, but Finkbuilt has made a stunningly beautiful clock using the more unusual end view tubes. It's too bad you can't really mass produce a product that uses hard to find surplus equipment that hasn't been producded in 30 years...
