Old radio and TV cabinets where also made of wood, but I never heard they did frequently (if ever) burst in fire... And Mains power came inside directly from the wall pug. eric _____

A lot of member's, here, have done a lot better. And many of those clocks could be considered "steampunk" too, style-wise. He's got some "brass" ones, submitting it to Kickstarter. If there's a viewer comment section, maybe we should add a link to better looking nixie clocks. Nothing wrong with wood. As long as the maximum amount of power that can come into the case (if dead shorted), is not enough to ignite any flammable parts. Usually, old style wallcubes can't deliver that kind of power. Straight 120VAC (or 220VAC) coming in, can easily deliver enough juice. That's why its been pretty standard to have low voltage entering the case, and boosting it with a switcher, to run the nixies. One of my old job functions was to ensure, the companies products, was compliant to FCC and UL standards. If it was powered from a wallcube, it was easy. Just buy UL approved wallcubes, and I was done. At least for the UL safety part.
