The components are replaceable/repairable with some soldering skills and basic component identification. This "old school" tech has been salvaged from obsolescence by marrying it to new digital tech. It is an entirely homemade/handmade product, including the base and shroud, which I thermoform from plexiglass stock, and. The firmware the microcontroller is programmed with, which is my own original code.

Below are the operating instructions. It can be set for operation on 120VAC U. Other countries It is an entirely homemade novelty craft project from my workbench. All the components on my clocks / kits are replaceable/repairable because they are all standard size, not SMT.

The IC's or "chips" are socketed so they can also be replaced easily, even by the layman. If a component fails or is damaged except the tube(s). All of my clocks use standard electric service (do not need a separate power supply) and most can be set for 120VAC U. Instruction set for scope clock.

The orange (neon) bulb should light. After several minutes, the filament should warm sufficiently and the screen should display 1, (number one) for 60HZ (USA) or 0 (number zero) for 50HZ (some other countries). Sometimes the wrong frequency is erroneously detected.
