    I'll be glad to share my little project with the forum community but I don't see the way to do it related to the electronic part (the case project is quite simple and it is easy to do it)

    As this technology is not used since the early '80, the Nixie tubes become more expensive and harder to find from year to year. Thanks to huge military stocks made in ex-USSR, still there are plenty on the market (you can easily get them from eBay).

    Ah, one of my passions.

    Some places for parts and kits

    http://www.store.tubeclock.com

    The Ramsey kits are expensive, but nice. I have the Teak/Maple base which would be pretty easy to make with the Carvewright.

    Whenever you buy these kits, always buy extra tubes because they will burn out.

    Good source of parts and kits:

    Great Post... I agree.... Order spare tubes in the beginning... Trying to find the Exact Tube later is normally more expensive...
