“BigTime II”, Remote Controlled Nixie Clock by Laurence Wilkins of the UK.
This clock is no longer made and has become a classic. It is sought after by collectors and enthusiasts alike. It is a rare find! It is being offered here with a complete set of 6 functioning IN-18 Nixie tubes, all original documentation, Remote Control, AC to DC power adapter, Slave Clock relay Option, and Temperature Sensor per my original purchase. The tubes alone are now selling for as much as $300 per set of 6! There’s still time before Christmas to grab one of the most unique Nixie clocks ever made. Good luck and good bidding!
Here are the main features of The BigTime II; a large six-digit nixie clock:
Fully remote controlled – The BigTime contains no (0) moving parts! (well, OK, apart from one reset switch)
