Mike, If you want Nixie tubes and 7441, I probably can dig out more than
you ever want. You would have to pay for shipping. Bert

Thanks David for that information. I am not sure I want to go to the
expense of the Nixie tubes, but those are very cool looking clocks indeed

the opening for the story would go something like: "In the days before
there were LEDs..."
I have looked into the sites you mention and hope they can help me find
those parts.
Thanks again,
Mike

J.,
There is an entire cottage industry for making nixie tube clocks.
These devices are beautiful to look at and they complement any decor.
There's a Yahoo group called NeoNixie that discusses them. Two
members of this group that sell clocks and kits (and have impressed
me with their technical skill) are:
http://www.chronotronix.com/
http://www.tayloredge.com/
And there are many more out there.
I'm not selling nixie clocks myself any more, though.
