This is a question Redundant technology

Music on vinyl records, mobile phones the size of house bricks and pornography printed on paper. What hideously out of date stuff do you still use?

Thanks to boozehound for the suggestion

I madethe clock
in this picture with some old russian display tubes.

The living room phone is non to modern either. I like the way it rings and I love the dialing mechanisim, made frome brass and hugely over engineered. It will last 4eva.



Edit: Thanks for the nice words.

Nixie tubes!
My mate made a similar clock but mounted it in a glass-fronted jewellery box thing.

I love 'em
I’ve got 6 to make for friends and family. 3 hours soldering, and about three hours to make the wooden cases.

I’m gathering the bits to make the clock that’s been in my head for the last 6 months. Dekatrons, nixies, copper tubing and oak case….it’s going to take some serious shed time.
