Our most popular clocks with IN-14 Nixie Tubes

Description

The Divergence Meter, on your desk: a real Soviet IV-18 vacuum tube glowing green, fully assembled.

The tube

A genuine IV-18 vacuum fluorescent display from the Soviet era — new old stock, never used. Six digits inside one long glass envelope, in a jade green no LED panel reproduces. Rated for more than 10,000 hours.

The case

Stacked plates form ribbed sides, drawn together with long hex bolts. The tube and the circuit board stay in full view between them.

  • Black stripes — black ribs. The glow reads harder and the machine sinks into a dark desk.
  • Clear stripes — transparent ribs. The whole build stays visible: glass, metal, board.

What it does

  • Hours, minutes and seconds, in 12 or 24 hour format
  • Calendar and alarm
  • 20 digit transition effects — digits roll, fade and scroll between changes
  • Automatic brightness: readable in daylight, gentle at night
  • Battery backup holds the time through a power cut

Size and power

15 × 4 × 9 cm (5.9 × 1.57 × 3.54 in). Universal 100–240 V adapter included, so it runs anywhere. Fully assembled and tested — no kit, no soldering.
