Nixie FunKlock Kit Mounted in a Voltmeter


Recommended Posts

My second DIY project is completed. It's a Nixie FunKlock Kit from pvceletronics. The case housing is a Weston 433 Voltmeter. The kit was fairly straight forward and easy to build. I never soldered anything before so this project turned out pretty well. I had an issue with the tubes originally not lighting up fully. I contacted customer service and they send a new controller the next day. So I'd highly recommend them.

Nice Job, Wish It was not nearly 200 for the whole kit, If so I would have one in route.q

Yeah, Nixie clocks are expensive. This kit was about $80 shipped from the UK to Florida, USA. It took a week to ship. I think its by far one of the cheapest and complete kits. Includes PCB + parts, tubes, and a plexiglass case. You just supply a power supply ($6-8 on Amazon/eBay). The Weston voltmeter was $20 shipped on eBay. So I spent roughly $100 on it (most expensive clock I've ever bought). This is excluding tools, but I have two other DIY electronic kit to make my initial cost of tools worthwhile.

And I still totally want one. I was looking at the 200 dollar models. Now if I could find parts of an instrument cluster to integrate it into that would be fantastic. Need to find a donor benz part to make it right.

You might get lucky at a junkyard.
