I had an idea to build a deliberately malfunctioning clock that flickered, in a distressed case. However, in my case I would occasionally force a cryptic sequence of numbers to display cleanly. The inspiration was a cross between Fallout 4, Lost Season 2 and Bioshock Infinite (and some rather knackered Burroughs tubes I have) - you would need the sound of staticy/tinny period music or voices fading in and out too. I was happy to over-drive the tubes to get the occasionally clear display - obviously need some way of varying the current to the tubes, e.g. a PS that can be controlled from the MCU. I was going to put it in my (finished) basement with a motion detector that would bring it flickering to life - just stacked on a shelf amongst a bunch of other ‘junk’.
Not got any further with this idea yet. > On Jan 9, 2018, at 4:41 PM, 'Michail Wilson' via neonixie-l > <neonixie-l@googlegroups.com> wrote: > > I have plenty of them. > > Need to re-count to make sure I can supply enough for the number of clocks I > have on order and units still to assemble.
