WHAT IS THE CLOCK MADE FROM?
I select all my wood personally, from rough stock, and process it no differently than I would material for a piece of fine furniture. All of my woods are chosen specifically for quality, figuring (where possible), and appropriateness of grain. Nixie Clock MKI units are available in solid black walnut, and solid purpleheart premium hardwoods. Electronics are handled by my affiliate in the UK, with all tubes coming from Ukraine and Russia. “Antennae” hardware may differ slightly from that shown.
HOW DOES THE CLOCK WORK?
A nixie tube is a cold-cathode low-pressure vacuum tube that lights a series of digit filaments surrounded by neon gas. A small electrical current is then passed through the tube, lighting the digit filament. Despite this constant electrical feed, since the tubes are classified as cold-cathode and therefore run at a very low temperature, there is no risk of overheating.
Nixie tubes utilize stacked filament numerals that create a very real sense of depth as the numbers change. Each number is its own filament and as a result the numbers jump forward and backwards within the tube. The tubes are controlled by a custom circuit board contained within a custom etched housing. The clock is controlled by four designated buttons on the rear of the unit (the knobs at the front do not perform a function and are ornamental).
The IN-12 Tubes and circuit board are not dependant on AC current and can be run in any country.
