If you do get one, I highly recommend the case as there area few terminals live at 170V to drive the discharge tubes and they can give you a bit of a nip if you happen to accidentally short them out![]()
The clock kit I built made use of Russian Ni-8 tubes (IIRC). I accidentally bust one of them so I bought a spare set as they are becoming harder to find, not sure if there are many about now.

Not really 'bedside' - it's about 42cm square!
I Don't know much about analogue CRT electronics, but is there ant reason you couldn't use a large CRT from a scrap TV, or do they have to be these specialized small CRT units?
