How would ebay item 180516094665 work out as a clock in someone's house.

Nope, No nixie, but unique.

I like it! I've been needing a sign like that to warn my neighbors about
the zombie invasion.

Fully operational, but later in the description he contradicts this by saying the sign board does not power up.

As for a home clock, I think the diesel generator might keep you awake at night.

Does this forum cater for magflip displays? I used to work up the road from
a roadsign company and I rescued several such displays, enough to make a 6
digit clock after swapping out the dead pixels (magcels?). I think that they
were made in Canada (I am in Australia). Each digit is a 5x7 matrix, about
35cm high. Magflip displays take about 8A to flip each pixel, and require a
fairly awesome power supply if you want to light up the LEDs as well. I did
make a driver with some relays but the contacts welded after a few hours. I
must try again with some big FETs.

Big industrial displays are so cool. Very few hackers seem to use them (i
only got mine by dumpster diving), I have never seen anything on the net.

Sure. We have some photos of a small flip-segment unit, some split-flap displays, and several rotary pinball scorewheels in

While we're on the subject, does anyone have a good "filmstrip" clock display to add to the album? How about a vertical split-flap readout (I've seen them used in "Take a Number" display units)? Any other mechanical display styles? I know David "Westdave" Weiner has some odd rotary numeric units with the rotors on a *vertical* axis, as opposed to the horizontal style used in pinball machines.

I have a filmstrip clock, I'll upload the image.
