been wanting something like that, Burroughs nixie based for a long, long time.

I’ve got a handful of Nixisat and Nixichron clocks all of which could use
modern GPS upgrades. My cylindrical acrylic Nixisat has been down for a few
years because the original GPS board died, and it’s just been sitting in
storage.
Is the firmware update from John Miktuk? What is the version?
I was thinking of this as a buy for the tube value alone. Then give those tubes
to Michael Barile who would make me a fantastic Barile/Thomas Nixisat derived
clock or clocks with those tubes.

Thanks for posting that. If nobody else is going to move on this, I think I
want to. I don’t have any Z568/Z5680 clocks from anybody besides Jeff Thomas /
Michael Barile. It will be such a nice addition to the collection.

Something like this fitted to my z568 Nixisat clocks would be great. I'm so
worried about my supply and lifespan of my 568 tubes and having sufficiently
distracted by 7971 and in18 clocks lately I have actually unplugged all but one
of my 568 clocks and that one only runs when I'm home because
$445 for 4, maybe. Like that last auction that closed a day or two ago where
the guy put a mirror up to the two tubes, making it look like there were four
to a casual buyer. That would be quite an ugly surprise when a box of two
showed up for the price of four.

My mother in law handed me an article today about this from their local paper
and asked if my funny tube clocks are still going to work. WIth the exception
of my MOD6 clocks, I'm all GPS over here but I'd be a bit bummed that the
masters of 60Hz have unilaterally decided to screw with that to
Now we're all going to need to GPS or use an atomic time standard to discipline

I have my one tube, that's it. I could go for having it filled with argon just
for grins, I'm concerned that the nipple on my one bad tube may not be broken,
it may have lost seal some other way, like one of the cathode or anode pin
ports.

Hello Mr Forbes!
I've been considering a rubidium time standard to keep the scope clock I bought
from you back in '03 or '04 disciplined. Do you know if there are any with 1PPS
outputs built in so that no other glue electronics would be unnecessary?

I seriously considered bidding from ebay.de but when it went over $1,000 for
the single tube in the final seconds, I decided not to snipe it.

I have propositioned Jeff several times to buy his CD47 Nixzilla (the original
Nixzilla, literally!) but so far he hasn't been able to part with it. I can
completely understand why, the tubes are really something.
In the meantime I'm on the hunt for some Thompson F9020AA flat nixies...
