Chuckle.

I'm looking forward to a six tube clock with the monsters that Dalibor is now 
working on!

TOO LARGE, say what?  This reminds of the doinks at Best Buy or somewhere,
when you're looking at a TV and they ask well, how big is the room?  Which
is of course irrelevant.  Will it physically fit into the room?  Then it
isn't too big!

 Yes of course! Currently, it will immediately select the closest 
 airport based on longitude and latitude data, but it is very easy to 
 adjust 
 the code to select a particular airport ID. I can help with that as 
 needed. 
 The current code for TAF/METAR is attached for reference. If purchased, I 
 will adjust the code slightly, to support the ESP32 on the new boards.

Re: [neonixie-l] Rodan CD47/GR414

[Ⓙⓞⓗⓝ Ⓢⓜⓞⓤⓣ]

I spent 45 years in design of one sort or another, from model-making for 
museums, films and the telly, architecture, interior design, museum and 
permanent exhibition design to graphic design and advertising. I don't 
suppose my opinion counts for anything, however I really like the 
compressed digit shapes of the CD47, possibly because they are so 
unique. Having inspected a set of these tubes close up, I still like the 
look of them. Would I ever want some? No, they are far too large for a 
domestic interior. I think Dalibor's tubes are the ideal maximum size.

Impressive? Yes! Pretty? No!
But like you, I would sure want one just for the impressive size alone!
