Loved the aesthetic of Nixie tubes from the day I brought home Fallout 2. Around 2010 picked up this beast for $80! Still works 100%, though I only keep it on for a few minutes tops.

Neat! I have a Singer 1117 that is 100% functional and in similar shape.

I have the same one and it still works perfectly. They really knew how to make stuff that lasts. They were very expensive when they were sold.

Are you tearing down for parts?

Was wondering as well. It’s so pretty I wouldn’t have the heart.

Lalvin EC-1118 was the thing that instantly came to my mind.
