I recently went to a Grand designs exhibition and came across these clocks made by Bad Dog Designs. They look great and if I could afford one I'd get one certainly. I know there are some amongst us here who love old valve style technology so you might enjoy these.  (Disclaimer I have no connection with the company)

Really cool... thanks!

Nixie tubes. It has been a long time since I've seen those in use. I like the radio. It would go well with the old tube radios I have collected. 

Wow! Those are cool!

I haven't seen any in person since the early 70s and even then, they were just hanging out in a piece of unused lab gear (probably scavenged from MIT).

Really neat looking pieces.

The last I saw them in use was in a piece of environmental test equipment we used to test aircraft components in the late 70's.

you can still buy kits to make your own on ebay...or you could last time I checked about a year ago...not as cool as those though.
