Well, I finally built it. I designed and put together this beauty using TTL and CMOS logic. It keeps time from the 120V 60hz signal that comes out of your wall. It f*ing rocks.
oh those things are called nixie tubes, they run high voltages, they are basically the bastard child of vacuum tubes and neon lights and 7 segment leds (but they predate 7 segment leds by about 20 years).
