FYI: Below is a short clip from the 1980 film ‘Dressed to Kill’ with Angie Dickenson. Checkout the VFD clock! This movie is responsible for me getting hooked on Nixie/VFD clocks. And, check out Angie, she was a total babe!!!

OK, I’m pretty excited about one of my next Nixie projects. I have recently acquired some of the gorgeous and extremely rare French F9020AA Nixie tubes. These tubes are unique in the Nixie world as they are a flattened, oval shaped Nixie tube with very large digits. The tube’s shape will present a unique set of circumstances as relates to building a case for them, but I am anxious to begin the process. This clock is in a holding pattern until further notice.

Got an idea for another NL8091 clock. This one will be a wall clock, but it’s still a glimmer in my mind’s eye and quite a ways off.
