Hey Martin,
did you repair the leftmost Nixie tube with an Argon mixture? Impressive!

Hi,
I found this clock on eBay some time ago, it was non-functioning when
sold and unfortunately it arrived in an even worse state since it had
been crushed while being shipped. It turned out to be some easy and
some hard things to repair to get it up and running, one Nixie was
broken and a few resistors where badly burned and one resistor had
cracked! After replacing those it took some time re-adjusting the
motor driven rotary switches, they look more like prototypes than
anything that was sold commercially, especially the disks that spin as
those are just rounded pieces of epoxy circuit boards with some
soldered contacts, no nice finish at all.
I've put a short film on YouTube:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0GsczXtQKLE where it advances from
12:59 to 1:00, and some photos and documents are included here in this
message. I just wish this clock had been a 24 hour model and not a 12
hour model!
Just as it says in the article it a lot of noise and you can't use it
in your bedroom without ear plugs!
/Martin
