Awesome Russian Vacuum Tube Clock

This French hardware hacker built a really cool nixie tube clock from a serious-looking Russian VFD (Vacuum Fluorescent Display). In the comments, he points to a Euro eBayer who’s selling a bunch of Russian/Soviet-era VFDs and other tubes, and other Soviet surplus. There’s also the obligatory video of the finished clock on YouTube. Cool loungey French soundtrack.
