Anyone made a tape counter from nixie tubes?

Nixie tubes are so awesome. But, they're rare, and expensive. This guy is making new nixie tubes from scratch in his workshop: Dalibor Farný » Homemade nixies

Here's one example of a guy who repurposed a circa 1975 nixie tube digital scale into a clock: http://localroger.com/nixie/nixie.html

So that got me thinking... how awesome would it be to have a nixie counter on a tape machine? Anyone?

that is great. it could be a great project. Is this guy selling them cheaper than the ebay ones ?

You can buy nixie tubes all day long for less than a buck apiece on daBay.
