That is very cool, it would look even better at night without other light sources.

Re: 399 goes Plasma!!
 

Very creative. How about a 399-shaped neon/fluorescent tube?

Re: 399 goes Plasma!!
 

Yes, that would be very original!

Re: 399 goes Plasma!!
 

we now just need a neon shop to sponsor us :D

Re: 399 goes Plasma!!
 

Thats my SSTC! and I was thinking the same thing with the neon sign!
(I just don't have money to blow on custom neon! lol)

Thanks for posting it Justin!

sweet nixies!!!

i wish it was easier to get nixies nowadays... but it;s getting harder to find them since they're all getting snapped up by collectors!

Re: 399 goes Plasma!!
 

They haven't all been bought up....we saw two huge boxes of them at a surplus store last month, $4 per tube (slightly used)

Re: 399 goes Plasma!!
 

I did a bit of research to find out what a nixie is.(pretty cool by the way for others that don't know) I found out Steve Wozniak has a nixie watch. Thought I'd share that with everyone.

PS: Sorry for derailing this thread even further.
