This one-of-a-kind build uses one of the largest tubes sylvan makes, a 4-1000 with 14 RGB's on the back. This provides a never ending color palate. There is also a variable speed Dekatron.
It's like I took the most appealing elements of a number of clocks and brought them together in this clock. If you would like to see this clock in action search YouTube for tuxedocatclocks for " 4-1000 + variable speed Dekatron". Handmade items are not perfect and this is no exception. There are minor flaws that in my mind gives it character.When items are made from copper they are not perfect. There are dents and tool marks from either the construction or the original piece of copper plate that was used. These items aren't made on a machine, they are hand made. I have recently had a negative experience with a very unreasonable, nitpicking person that this concept was completely unable for him to understand. If you expect a genuine handmade authentic steampunk clock, then you have found the right place.
Back to my normal introduction. Thank you for taking the time to consider my product. I've had an interesting life full of hobbies like wood carving, blacksmithing and copper work that I now use to create one of a kind Nixie Clocks. I make a high quality kit designed in Switzerland and have sourced NOS tubes.
With the artistic help of my wife staining and beautifying the enclosures we now have a quality product that I would like to own and that I can sell with confidence. You can have a clock hand built in the USA from parts that are decades old but are new and being utilized for the first time in their lives. The clock has a battery backup that keeps time to + or - 1 minute a year.
However from my observations I would say it is much more accurate than that. This is coming from a person who is a perfectionist and has CDO (that's OCD but in alphabetical order).
That level of obsessive precision goes into the building of your clock. The design is a 6 digit display that every minute if you wish will display the date for 5 seconds and then scroll back to the time. The only word that works for a description is "COOL". All the functions are set with one simple button. There are too many variations to describe here but be assured you can have this clock Your Way.
Tube life is lengthened by a blanking mode which you set when you are away and also an Anti Cathode Poisoning Feature that keeps the filaments clean and adds to the overall life of the tubes. Inspired by the SteamPunk movement I've incorporated elements of copper and brass all handmade and unique to each clock. I treat our customers like I would want to be treated.
If you have a problem contact information is included which allows your needs to be resolved to your satisfaction. Check my feedback and you will see we have happy customers and we hope to include you in that group.
Each clock is a work of joy. I find myself watching the clock instead of TV. Never had the passage of time been so fun. The size is 10" wide by 6" deep by 14 tall.
Again thank you for your consideration.
