OMG. This reminds me of folks who build clocks out of NIXIE tubes. Yeah, OK, they are kinda cool.

When you can buy an LED clock new for $7 which is what each digit of a clock in Nixie costs......never mind wiring the things together....

Or you can buy an LED clock in a thrift store for $2.

And if you crack the case of the clock open, throw the contents of it into a pencil case, and take it to school with you, you can get a free trip to the White House and be called things like “budding scientist” if you’re a Mulsim!
