1 Glass Clock Design #3
Congratulations on your purchase of this unique timepiece! This clock
uses Cold War era Nixie display tubes. The old is mixed with the new,
using a RISC processor based single chip computer – which has more
processing power than the old computers that originally used these Nixie
tubes.
The case is all optically clear Simax glass from the Czech Republic, and
uses clear acrylic support pieces to complement the glass vacuum tube
construction of the Nixies.

3”, or “Glass Clock Design #3” is the third
design for my Nixie tube based clock. It uses a microprocessor that
multiplexes 3 tubes by 2 (meaning 2 tubes are on at a time, with 3 sets of
2). SMD (surface mount) construction is used throughout. A high
efficiency high voltage power supply is used to generate the 180v
required for the Soviet Nixie tubes.
This is the special version of the Glass Clock #3. It uses rare Soviet IN-
14 tubes. Each tube is socketed to the board, which allows easy
replacement if a tube fails. It’s an excellent size for larger offices and
living rooms.
