Thanks Patrick, and thanks for the guidance on getting there with this one.

So where I plan to place this I do have room for the 6 tube. And the seconds indication would likely be a good addition in that space. That said, I’d have nowhere for the 4 tube then so maybe I’m good for now !
I think the only negative right now for me is the power cord, I have not identified a good solution to hide it properly. However I’m still in the process of deciding what will be placed on these shelves and will likely do so with an eye to hiding the power cord for the Nixie.
I’m also thinking I want to get the single tube.

Something New : A Nixie Clock from Dalibor Farny
By: Jay (Eire) : August 11th, 2022-15:04
After some chatting with our fellow member and moderator Patrick last year I decided to purchase a nixie clock from Dalibor Farny. Several members, Patrick included, own these clocks and the feedback has been all positive. The clock was delivered in Decem...
Small footprint and slim base. Easily works on a desk too.

I think the 6, with the seconds display, would be more dynamic and maybe because of that be more obvious in whatever room it was placed. This one, in addition to being slim as you noted, lacks that dynamic aspect and so it blends in nicely.
I've always wanted a Nixie Clock

But haven't been able to choose which one, so you're helping me a lot! They seem to me so pure in its design, and soothing. Best regards. René
Right!

It is very cool indeed. Lots of life!

I would probably not put that one in a bedroom, as there's a lot of life and movement there. And the app allows the clock to shut off when you go to sleep, so you can program it to turn off after 10PM and turn back on at around 6AM. This way it won't dist...
Thanks.

What a cool clock in a beautiful home setting!

A very nice clock on a very nice rift oak wall shelf! I see you've hidden the cabling behind the shelf. I do like the six tube version. But it does take up significantly more space. The base is exponentially larger since it has to preserve the proportions...
The 4 valve was my choice.

The mechanism flushes away oxidation every 10 minutes so it does produce an electronic display worthy of the large Nixie tubes. I thought the 6 valve version with the seconds flashing away would be too distracting. It is an amazing piece of engineering wi...
I agree on the seconds comment.

I had the same objection to Journe’s Vagabondage III, the seconds just add noise. Very happy with mine still.
I like it.

And I do use it to tell time.
Cheers Mahesh.

All credit to Patrick who flagged these for me and after chatting about his experiences led me to getting this.
