VFD Clocks

by Claus-Dieter Urbach / www.nixieclocks.de

Price: 120 EUR

I found this clock on Neonixie-l and I really liked the design.  It is similar to the Ice Tube Clock from Adafruit but I personally like this design much more.  It is housed in a acrylic cylinder and has a much more polished look and feel to it.  If you're curious about the build, Claus has included the full manual and high resolution build photos to help you
