There are all sorts of interests served on youtube, from make-up to cameras and over the years I seem to have accidentally acquired the esteemed position of The Nixie Tube Chap.

Therefore when Millclock wanted someone to show their newly manufactured Nixie tubes and clock, they got in touch. I don't often take in review units, however for this I made an exception as it's likely the only way I'd ever get to see one of these in person.

Oh and there's also a new comedy bit to go along with this one. While editing I realised that there was something I said to camera at the end that would definitely attract predictable predatory pedantry attention - so the perfect topic for a muppets sketch then. I decided not to add the sketch onto the end of the video this time and instead to post it separately. I'd noticed that Millclock embedded my Nixie clock comparison video on their website and I thought it might be a bit inappropriate to force them to unwittingly embed my puppet show on there too.

So instead there are links at the end of the video to take viewers to it. It will be interesting to see how people many are really interested in clicking through to watch this I've never been able to separate out the views for the skits before.

Here it is: https://youtu.be/9_c4zKtYQpE

UPDATE 8/9/19 12:00 GMT : Made a couple of quick fixes to the video and the updated version is the one above.

The Return of the Nixie - New ZIN18 Tubes & Clock from Millclock

Against the odds Nixie tubes are being manufactured again. In this video I look at the new ZIN18 tubes and clock from Millclock.

Extra Info: Since making the video I’ve learned from MillClock that it takes 6 hours to hand make each tube. Just thought you might find that fact interesting. ---------------SUBSCRIBE------------------ http://www.youtube.com/user/Techmoan?sub_confirmation=1 -------------Merchandise----------------- https://teespring.com/stores/techmoan-merch -------------SUPPORT--------------- This channel can be supported through Patreon https://www.patreon.com/techmoan *******Patrons usually have early access to videos******* ----------Outro Music----------- Over Time - Vibe Tracks https://youtu.be/VSSswVZSgJw ------Outro Sound Effect------ ThatSFXGuy - https://youtu.be/5M3-ZV5-QDM ------AFFILIATED LINKS/ADVERTISING NOTICE------- All links are Affiliated where possible.
