Re: [neonixie-l] Re: World's largest "Nixie" clock?

[Dan Harboe Burer]

I live in Denmark; I remember as a kid, seeing the clock for the first time
back in the 1970's.
During the 1990's the station was renovated and the clock temporarily
dismantled. I was keeping an eye on that it came back - if not I would have
gotten in touch with DSB to save it :)

Take a close look at the Copenhagen clock; you can see how the digits are 
formed with a mix of straight and curved segments.
It's much more aesthetic than a 7-segment display, and much simpler than a 
nixie tube with 10 cathodes.

They are not real Nixie tubes, of course, but neon tubes bent into the 
shape of numerals. Still it looks super cool :)

I have seen that clock.  Maybe is was the unconscious encounter that made me

Looks great, and thanks for offering the circuit boards.  I have a set of
reels I picked up, and would love to have a kit for the rest.

RE: [neonixie-l] Pinball score reel clock

[Michail Wilson]

Thought I would share….

 

Some pictures of the clock as a completed prototype….

https://imgur.com/a/YYnGS0g

 

The final case will be of a scale pinball machine head.

 

Working on the sleep feature now  (no need to listen to it throughout the 
night).

 

I’ll make the circuit boards available on www.pinballclock.com when I get time. 
 (Put up a super basic site just to start it.  Will make it as close to cost as 
possible.)

Tempest was the best of their color vector games. Unfortunately, the 
proprietary Atari monitors had an alarming tendency to burn up their HV power

BTW, the tunnels, tubes, wells—whatever people called them—are "holes". You 
have to read the service manual to find that out.

 

And why they didn't use ball bearings on the rotary controller I have no idea.

[neonixie-l] Re: Single Digit QS30-1 clock

[martin martin]

Hi All,
Of course I ordered one also. I wrote him back and here's the info:

here is the setting method:
1. This product has only two keys, one is SEL (selection key) and also the 
power key, and one is the "+" key.
2. Press and hold the “+” button until the 2 digits are flashing (for 
example, if it is flashing in 2019), release the + button, then it has 
entered the setting state, press the “+” button to adjust
Year, short press the SEL button to select the item to be adjusted in the 
following table order. Go to the last item and continue to press the SEL 
button to exit the setup state, or any
When you press and hold the power button to turn off the power, it will 
exit the setting state directly.
Pressing the SEL button while setting will display the following adjustment 
items in order:
No. Item Display value 
1 year setting
2. February setting 
3 Date setting 
4 weeks setting 
5 hours setting 
6 minutes setting 
7 seconds setting 
8 LED backlight setting
Pressing the “SEL” button in the non-set state will switch the three 
display modes in turn, which are display time, display year, month, day, 
and second.
Press and hold the power (SEL) button to turn off the phone and press the 
button for a short time.
