| 1210096 | 2011-06-17 09:04:00 | Having a look at stuff on wikipedia about some cold cathode tubes and stumbled across nixie tubes. Hell I thought. These things could be awesome for a clock... turns out i'm a bit late. Plenty of nixie clocks around :D Anyway, where is a good place to scavenge some nice tubes. No particular size atm. Just some good cheap nixies (if that applies really) Maybe just where can I get 'em :p cheap does not apply to awesomely cool but out of productions tubes I guess Cheers |

| 1210097 | 2011-06-17 09:26:00 | Perhaps ask these guys www.cnccreations.com.au The tubes apparently come from the Ukraine, and haven't been made for thirty years! www.electricstuff.co.uk |
