[neonixie-l] Any large tube clock kit recommendations

2016-12-09 Thread Trumpeter
I'll be putting together a spectrum kit in the coming weeks. I love Petes kits, 
very well laid out and easy to assemble for an amateur like myself.

[neonixie-l] Any large tube clock kit recommendations

2016-11-12 Thread Alic
Hi,
This is the best combination that I know in that price range :
- 6x IN-18 tubes : less than $300 on eBay

- PV-electronics Spectrum kit : $113
http://www.pvelectronics.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info=18_id=157

- Acrylic case : $73
http://www.pvelectronics.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info=3_15_id=159
Or
-Steel case : $106
http://www.pvelectronics.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info=3_15_id=177

- PSU (wall wart) : $16

Total : $502 or $535

Shipping cost and optional GPS, etc is not included in this calculation.


There was a really compact one for 88$ on kosbo.com, but without a case. I 
don't think it is available anymore.


There must be more nice clocks at that price point, but I don't know them well, 
so I don't feel comfortable recommending them.

I am not affiliated, etc, with PV-electronics.

[neonixie-l] Any large tube clock kit recommendations

2016-11-09 Thread Dylan Distasio
Hi folks-

I'm trying to help a friend put together the nicest nixie clock possible
for between $350-500 with tubes.  I'm willing to build it from kit for him,
so through hole (and relatively easy SMD) soldering is fine.  I need some
kind of case, although acrylic is fine and he likes the look of it.  He
loves the Zen clock (who doesn't?!) but doesn't want to spend that much.
I'm basically looking for the biggest tubes possible at that pricepoint
range with some kind of enclosure.  I'm willing to source the tubes
separately but won't have any magic cheap supply for them and will be going
through fleaBay or somewhere readily available so I do need to include the
tube cost in the total price.

Any suggestions welcomed.
