“Black Emerald Nixie

NO LONGER AVAILABLE FOR SALE


These clocks were a labor of love to build and get out the door.

I truly wish we could have made more , but due to the extremely limited supply of  NL8971 tubes

we are forced to end it all here. If by some chance we stumble upon a source for more of these tubes, we will certainly build another run.

Thanks for your patronage!!
