Nixie Tube
-
I find these tubes fascinating and would love to build something IRL that uses them, but until then I'll settle for building this one. Textured for applying your own materials, use the grid on the front as a clip-map. Yours to play with, and if someone makes it better or does something cool with it, post it here, it'd be neat to see.

Cool!
I like nixie tubes, too. The first computer I had access to was in high school. It read punched cards we punched by hand and its display was a row of nixie tubes. I think a clock using them or something would be neat to have.

Thanks!
I got to play with a punch card phone for a little bit, instead of a rolodex you simply inserted the punched cards with the name on it to dial. Handy, but not too practical.
