Nixie Clock IN-14 Tubes. Steampunk Copper, Brass & Glass! Weston 264 + Dekatron

  

The stars of this clock is a Weston model 264 solid brass ammeter & a speed controlled Dekatron. The ammeter Built in the early 30s its pushing 90 years old.

RGBs are inside add never Ending Color. The Dekatron is 1950s technology at its finest. If you are looking for true steampunk this is it.

Handmade items are not perfect and this is no exception. There are minor flaws that in my mind gives it character. There is a YouTube video dated April 1, 2020 Search Greg Denny if you would want to see the clock in action. 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 is now expressed Im my making Nixie clocks. I build 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. 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. We hope you will join our happy family of nixie owners.
