Reply to comment by nixiebunny in My wife’s clock uses LEDs to illuminate individual pieces of glass with numbers to display the time. by Zocalo_Photo

That’s very cool. This may be a dumb question, but did they have LEDs back then? How did the edge kit display work? With this clock we have, the glass (maybe plastic, I’m not sure) pieces are close together and are lit with small LED.

Also, I saw your Nixie tube display in your car. That is amazing!

It was tiny light bulbs at the bottom, controlled by stepping relays.
