By $Deity, i remeber the origins of this mod, months ago... It's alive! About nixies, recently i've read about some kits (for clocks with numbers inside. If i can... Take a look on Hack a day, i think i saw them there.

Yep... It's alive, I had to move to a new job that has been keeping me very busy, but it's winding down and now I am starting up my projects again...

I've found it! http://hackaday.com/?s=nixie, I hope you'll find it useful.

I am so glad to see this mod back in action!!! I was afraid it had either been abandoned or finished and never updated.

Looking forward to its progress.

ok, I got two back door skins they are actually new, restoration pieces from a place called "gas pump heaven." I got two back door skins because the front already had a window cut into it, I need to be able to design my own front window to show off the insides (when I can safely clean the 60 year old brass pipes...).

Also I had an idea for using touch sensors for the on/off button and reset button. I did a little research here and here I believe that this simple setup will work but I would appreciate it if some one with an electrical background could look at it and tell me if I am on the right track or way off. I am also not sure what type of transistor to use if some one could sujest a model number that would be suited for this that would be great!

The wires from the touch sensor (from left to right) are ground, analog input, and power (+5Volts).

kool looks sweet nice work

[odog87]

ok, so after actually looking at the schematic I made up, I saw it was doomed to to fail (seeing as how the touch sensor bridged the circuit the computer would have turned on immediately... If I was lucky...).

this plan should work but it is still helpfull if some one with electrical experience could look at it.
I have the parts showing up next week, so I will know one way or the other by Thursday...

Nice looking mod, I will be watching its progress.
