I guess this is technically an eBay find even though I already bought it. It is a minitron / numitron based clock. It had two burned out FFD-81 displays when I got it earlier this week. I replaced one with an FFD21 and another compatible tube that I found online.
I don't know much about this device - it looks like it is meant to be part of a larger time distribution system because it has a time in/out connector in the back.
Inside, the latest date code I could find was Feb 22 1996 hand written on the ROM.
I'll post more when I have a chance to dig in a little bit. I may even do a joke review of this thing.

Thanks for the pix! (I'm the one who asked on YouTube for a look inside the box). A mighty 6802 and some TTL, oh my...
Look into it later when the dust is clearing off the crater.

Ah. I didn't recognize the name.
Yes, the construction looks a bit dated. The traces look and drawn. But hey, it still work!

Well, this clock just died on me :-/
It was showing __:_9:_9 last night and so I unplugged it. Today, the display is just blank.
Oh well, it was fun for 2 weeks.
