Nixie Tube Clock

[DogeOfTech]

I'm thinking about buying a Nixie Tube Clock kit, but I'm having trouble finding a good place to buy it from.

 

Has anyone bought + assembled one? If so, where did you buy your kit from and how long did it take to solder together?

Yup.

I bought it on eBay, I'll link it later, as the guy I bought it from was extremely helpful and helped diagnosed the mistake I made.

It took a few days, many components are very small so you should have a bunch of soldering experience.

Interested too.. Going to make a VFD one, but who can resist nixie tubes?

So a bunch of caps and resistors I assume? I've soldered small stuff before so I think I can handle it, but should I be worried buying the kit from EU? (I'm in the US)

But tiny surface mount things. I did it for, so I wouldn't worry.

I bought it from some guy in Russia. Was fine. I'll link it later today.
