#7
by Patrick Mignot
Price: Not For Sale
I originally contacted Patrick about featuring his F9020AA Single tube clock clock on this site. He has quite a few different devices that he has built and I wanted to share his #7 clock. It is a single digit clock based off of an IN-4 ИН-4 nixie tube. Of course, the stand out feature of this device is the shape of it. Unlike something the Turbo_Hobby clock, this one also features a calendar and alarms/chimes. Patrick also points out that the exercise of learning to read the clock provides a god source of mental stimulation. While a single digit clock is not particularly hard to read, this does take a little bit of time to get used to.
