>> http://transistorclock.com/ has a very interesting (though a bit expensive) kit for sale. A 10" x 11" circuit board sporting nearly 200 transistors and 600 diodes to drive six seven-segment displays. Suitable for framing... As delivered runs on 60hz but there is a note about conversion to 50hz mains. You can buy a bare board, just the components or a full kit.

Bha! Mechanics, relays and transductors... tubes are so unreliable!
