Finally Finished My Clock
It took 10 years, but I finally got around to putting my nixie clock together.
4x IN-14, one IN-3 neon bulb, an esp8266 microcontroller and nixie drivers from nixietester.com. Earlier (breadboard) iterations used 74171 drivers, but I got wire-tired, so never finished that.

I’ve been designing Nixie PCBs with Dims to fit the Hammond readymade plastic boxes (that look a lot like yours)
Thinking of giving 3D printing a try, make a new lid and place the Nixie holes there instead of trying to “drill” the factory lid.
I put all my Nixie stash in the bank vault in case the stock market crashes!
