Nice hunt @truthsfinder!

The 'Useless Nixie Device' may well be useless but, it's certainly a useless gadget that I would just love to tinker around with for several hours.

I think it looks fantastic, using the old style cold cathode tubes to display it's characters by way of a warm glow.

To say it is truly useless, would probably not be totally true. If you had a load of old compatible tubes, would it not be useful as a tester, maybe?

I bet this could be hacked to display what you wanted it too. That would be fun, especially with a few of these linked together.

I want one!
