I was surprised by the price too. Quite reasonable for a change. My usual reaction to things like this is "great idea, but I'll make my own instead and save lots of money". Not this time. The effect of self-heating depends on where the actual temperature sensor is located; hopefully that's i

It's beautiful, but it only goes up to 99 degrees! It gets much hotter in Arizona. On 11/24/2015 3:44 PM, PsyPhi wrote: During my random wanderings though the interwebs, I ran across this neat item: https://www.etsy.com/listing/101780178/nixie-tube-thermometer-the-nixietherm-ii I know nothing a
