I am dreadful at layouts. Can you send a pic, or give me an idea how you laid yours out on a board? I keep trying to route this myself, and it is not going well.

Adam, I love these for prototyping, but I want something more pleasing to the eye for the actual clock.

Not wanting to fiddle directly with the mains supply in a clock, I've focused on using low voltage DC inputs, so all my experience is with switched mode converters. Over a number of designs, I've used a Tayloredge PSU and also built several home-brew switchers driven by a microcontroller used to run the rest of the clock functions. The former is a fantastic turnkey solution. The latter has given me flexibility where I've needed it (esp recently as I've been playing with dekatrons more) - it's more work in firmware, but you get control. All you need is a controller with a spare ADC input and preferably a hardware PWM output. Horses for courses.
