[Waverley ARS] Shades of Ben.

[Henrik Stenstrom]

All,

I have most of the parts languishing, boxed on a shelf to build this
one; 

http://www.electricstuff.co.uk/nixclock.html 

It uses high voltage transistors rather than the harder to source nixie
driver chips.  The time reference is divided from the AC mains
frequency, so slightly lower tech (and less accurate) than some other
designs out there.

Unfortunately, like many of my projects

A friend of mine found this article at siliconchip.com.au and thought we

might be interested in reading it:

'Build A 6-Digit Nixie Clock, Pt. 1' - We have been wanting to produce
this 
Nixie Clock project for a long time and now it has finally come to
fruition. 
It has the warm, fascinating glow of Nixie tubes with their hypnotic 
counting action, mixed with a cool blue glow from a high-brightness LED
from 
underneath each tube. It makes an eye-catching display, both during the
day 
and at night.
Here's a fantastic "retro" project to build. It mixes the warm
fascinating 
glow of 6 Nixie tubes with some cool blue LED uplighting.
