The star of this show is a military U. This tube was used according to the 90 year old amateur radio operator who owned it on a submarine. There is antidotal accounts of the 861s being used in high power transmitters on ships and submarines. Ive read accounts of men who were radio operators pushing the output of these tubes till they were white hot while trying to communicate vital information.

If you have an interest in early radio or WWII memorabilia and particularly if you want a USN Tribute clock then this is the clock for you. This tube according to the date stamped on its base was in the thick of it. Right in the middle of WWII. There are 16 RGBs in and around the tube that coupled with a beautifully stained box makes this a joy to behold.

The tube with the rgbs create a color changing wheel within a wheel what I call the Ezekiel effect. The pictures really dont do this feature justice. The rings are so deep and colorful they are almost hypnotic. The ammeter is also a USN Meter. Be sure to watch my YouTube video for this clock. Search Greg Denny for the video listed as U S NAVY CWL-861 tube. Handmade items are not perfect and this is no exception. There are minor flaws that in my mind gives it character.

Handmade copper plates have hammer marks on them. The parts for this clock werent made by machine but by my hand. I recently had a negative experience with a person who was unable to grasp this concept. Back to my normal introduction. Thank you for taking the time to consider my product.

Ive had an interesting life full of hobbies like wood carving, blacksmithing and copper work that I now use to create one of a kind Nixie Clocks. I make a high quality kit designed in Switzerland and have sourced NOS tubes. With the artistic help of my wife staining and beautifying the enclosures we now have a quality product that I would like to own and that I can sell with confidence.

You can have a clock hand built in the USA from parts that are decades old but are new and being utilized for the first time in their lives. The clock has a battery backup that keeps time to + or - 1 minute a year. However from my observations I would say it is much more accurate than that.

This is coming from a person who is a perfectionist and has CDO (thats OCD but in alphabetical order). That level of obsessive precision goes into the building of your clock. The design is a 6 digit display that every minute if you wish will display the date for 5 seconds and then scroll back to the time. The only word that works for a description is COOL. All the functions are set with one simple button.

There are too many variations to describe here but be assured you can have this clock Your Way. Tube life is lengthened by a blanking mode which you set when you are away and also an Anti Cathode Poisoning Feature that keeps the filaments clean and adds to the overall life of the tubes. Inspired by the SteamPunk movement Ive incorporated elements of copper and brass all handmade and unique to each clock. I treat our customers like I would want to be treated.

If you have a problem contact information is included which allows your needs to be resolved to your satisfaction. Check my feedback and you will see we have happy customers and we hope to include you in that group. Each clock is a work of joy. I find myself watching the clock instead of TV. Never had the passage of time been so fun. The size is 18wide by 13deep by 14 tall. Again thank you for your consideration.
