Re: [neonixie-l] Z568M boxes

[Nicholas Stock]

Ha ha! The boxes are left over from a couple of Spectrum Z568 clocks I was
asked to build for someonethey didn't want the boxes, so they've been
cluttering up the 'masculum speluncam' for a while. They're going to a good
home...

I know Mitch F has an 8 tube clock board that'll take them

RE: [neonixie-l] Re: Leap second...

[Scott McInness]

The most recent leap second was inserted on 30 June 2015 at 23:59:60 UTC, so 
whatever happened 18 months should happen again this time. Note that the leap 
second is inserted at 23:59:60 UTC, so your local time zone will affect when 
you actually see the leap second – it’s about eight hours away.

 

Have a read of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leap_second if you want to know 
more about why.

 If you have any transition effects that run at the top on the minute they will

If your middle initial is "E" it's probably yours, as the schematics are 
initialed "PEH".

It looks to have a couple of micros on it and some headers installed . All 
BOM / etch drawings and instructions are included.

$25 shipped?
