Fascinating.
Reminded me of colosus, maybe thats where some of the ideas are from,
must cost a mint to make one of those, interesting looking at the vid
that the time counters at the bottom of the machine are counting in
binary, maybe bcd, the tubes higher up must be bcd to decimal

Michel,
Hi. I'd like to clear up a couple things that you don't seem to

Damn that looks really sweet, i could make the numbers look much
better if anybody could program it. Ive been playing with the idea of
making realistic CGI nixie for a while.

Hello David,
Thanks for the explanation. I guess you made a typo somewhere because
I remember reading 200uA somewhere in your files rather than 13uA and
1 year rather than 7 years.
Your claim is then not correct, because at 50 readings per day and 2
seconds per viewing, the battery will only
Hi Frank, yes I saw that one, looks really cool. It's just that the
case doesn't match with the tubes. If you wear that one, nobody will

Have shipped all the kits and the assembled versions are shipping
tomorrow! Hooray! Jeez, Mike it only took you about 4 months to ship
'em ;-) That's some efficient organization ya' got there. Oh
well...
Thanks all for your patience.

Well, I probably started on the wrong foot in this group and yeah, you
can't take back the things you post so I am sorry for that. I agree
that I should have done more research and this would not have
happened.
Like David said, we have solved this matter privately already, which
