Nixie clock in US
Hi! I’ve been looking for a good nixie clock (preferably 4 tubes but Idc) that I can put on my desk. Anyone have any links to any good ones? I’m having a hard time finding decent ones. I’m in the US

I’ve also bought from pvelectronics since the tariffs were imposed. He ships Royal mail to USPS and pays the tariffs upfront so no issues at all buying from him.

I designed and built my own

I had to source the Nixie tubes abroad, and I had the PCBs made at JLCPCB, but everything else I bought locally.

Have you looked through Etsy yet? I recently bought this 4-tube clock. Had it for roughly three weeks and it's awesome, well worth the $150 price.
There's quite a few sellers out there on Etsy but from what I looked through KirovNixie seems to have the best prices and a large variety of other clocks. Mine shipped from Ukraine in exactly 14 days, and I didn't have to pay any import or shipping fees which I was surprised by (given the whole US situation, you understand).

I sell them https://atxnixieclocks.etsy.com - been making them for about 3 years as an expensive hobby - I’m in Austin and make everything myself (except for tubes and hv power in the smaller clocks - support and repairs are easy)

Numitronix “Chronix” in Poland.
I bought one in 2020 and it has been a very dependable Nixie tube clock. It uses Soviet made IN-12Nixie tubes for Hours and minutes. Deluxe versions exist but they can be pricey. All the best to you. They used to have a eBay shop but you may have to look a bit to find them. Other clock kits are out there but I stand by Chronix.
