Tony from LaserMad is poised to offer kits to build your own magnificent Nixie-tube chess-sets:
This is not a project for beginners – it makes extensive use of surface mount components. The circuits are not complicated and are laid out with plenty of space between parts where possible but you will still need to be confident soldering small parts. The main PCB is almost 15×15″ and as only 10-20 will probably ever be made I'll be machining them myself. They won't have any solder resist or component legend though the assembled square should be easy to copy and photographic instructions will be supplied for all stages of construction. Expect to spend up to a week of your spare time on it depending on experience and patience.
Postage will be charged at cost – for international orders it won't be cheap but if you know of a cheaper service or can arrange collection by your own courier I'll be happy to help arrange it. The total weight including packing materials will be about 4kg (9 pounds).
