Re: [neonixie-l] Re: Some guy offering Rodan CD47 tubes

That sounds really very cool. Any size, within reason that anyone would 
want, and much less expensive than Rodan CD47's. Engrave your own, if 
you're good at that sort of thing, or have it done somewhere. Multi 
colored LED's would also be cool. And just to make sure that the clock 
contained some 'neon', use neon lamps for the colons.  Ira.

You could use the modern version of the old edge-lit displays.  A stack
of plex sheets engraved with the numbers and edge-lit with LEDs.  That
would be even more authentic because the numbers would approach and
recede as they change values, just like in a real Nixie.

One of the (many) projects in the back of my head is a 'beer bottle nixie
tube', basically cutting-off the top of a brown beer bottle and inserting a
PC board with orange LED's arranged like nixie numerals. The tinted glass
would obscure most of the PC board, and blur the LEDs so it would have a
fighting chance to look nixie-ish.

Trust me, I could make a decent enough clock with 6 of these without
spending 15,000 euros....
