Had another thought. If your into retro and something a bit higher end, you might look at “Nixie tube clock kits”. Here is one from Amazon https://www.amazon.com/Nixie-Tube-Clock-hours-format/dp/B0CW2WRWL9/ref=sr_1_7?crid=1XDGQYSCPF9EW&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.zt8lmtT70UV9nKdfr810fTsl2jxdo8Qze42glE6OGy1I1a_oRPS-fyOSZGEHmTwbUtqs88IEfHfq_KNOSIu3mNAlOt2-W_b0btnVr21rnlmN_bYKLCtmBwKya4P14CMcBFs88bd6Y01G0S1dcc1TKDiDJlvodngH8dYFpa99eG04XaQ9dzdDgIP6vHVjqj_ydnE7lGJHG11w-LqmiZxqOgMW03uiNpQMGhoyqkD5mVw2vRbipTkF0hIOeddif_XrIAf9xS8xMkSsfZ96SllU6pexuKFK3MnrReeXZlBqE74.gU_qOwGFVDS7A3yzjzn4JeR9BKgZdrMG9m_Rt7TeqX0&dib_tag=se&keywords=nixie%2Btube%2Bclock%2Bkit&qid=1780777883&sprefix=Nixie%2Btube%2B%2Caps%2C166&sr=8-7&th=1 If you search there are others and on eBay and other PLACES as well if you go a web search. Just be careful - most of them are fully assembled even when you search for kits and some come without the Nixie tubes that you need to find separately. Just thought it might be interesting.
