Dekatron kitchen timer

[Eschlaep] put together this beautiful kitchen timer using a dekatron. We see all kinds of tube projects, but dekatron projects are fairly rare. The over all aesthetic is quite nice, though we’d be tempted to find a way to protect that high voltage circuit.

I’d never heard of a dekatron before, but it looks pretty damn cool. I’m surprised more people don’t use them to count the seconds on a nixie clock
