Printed circuit boards for a Nixie tube-based clock

Enough resistors to choke a horse (if the horse fed on electricity)

All the other bits

The six Nixie tubes, IN-14 tubes imported from Lithuania, where Nixie tubes were still produced and used until the late 80s

Nixie tube closup, showing the layered digits

Resistors and diodes soldered in - a good hour's work

Five hours later, the rest of the components are installed on the logic board

Soldering in the Nixie tubes. Lots of soldering, lots of snipping

It works! (For some reason -- to save money, presumably -- Russian Nixie tubes use an upside-down '2' for the '5' digit)
