Earlier this month we became addicted to watching the series Travelers (spelling is American) on Netflix.
In the series, one of the protagonists has a valve, digital clock, which took Hay's fancy - and mine.
It's called a Nixie clock, of which there is a number of variants, all using Soviet era valves that preceded LEDs. You can buy kits on-line, but I wanted a complete clock, so I had a look on eBay and bang - I found one in Ukraine.
The bloke selling them is based in Lviv, Ukraine, and after having purchased it, I contacted him and said I wasn't bothered if he needed the cash and didn't send it. Well, he did send it, bless him, and it's now in transit.
It wasn't particularly expensive either.- $94, including postage.
