Price: Not For Sale
I know it is easy to impress me with unusual clocks, but this one really stands out. I found this clock through an eBay auction for a very unusual F9020AA Nixie Tube. Not only is this tube huge (it is nearly as tall as a B-7971), it is also flat. I have never seen any other nixie tube with this design and I am having trouble finding more information on the tube itself. (As an interesting note, six tubes like this was posted 1/24/2010 and it sold within 24 hours for $550 each.)
The dimensions are: (Height: 133mm (including nipple and pins) - width: 63mm - thickness: 34mm - digit height: 60mm - digit width: 40mm)

Patrick has several other clocks that are worth checking out. He provides plenty of photos of his work and even has a few numitron clocks and a B-7971 clock as well.
