No BNC connector but still nice decoration for your studio.

A studio here bought one of those, and within a few months, the Chinese-made (???) Nixie readout tubes died...one by one.

Twas a shame, since it was really cool looking....

Thanks. I guess I can scratch this off the wish list.

I can't say for sure that the digiclock shown in the link uses the same Nixie tubes as the one I saw here at a local studio. However, the clocks' packaging was pretty much the same. Perhaps "brand A" Nixies last longer than "Brand B"?

Olde School (USA-made) Nixie tubes did have a long life.....

Best,
