Nixie Tube Geiger Counter

Nixie Tube Geiger Counter

Instructables user moustachenator built a lovely geiger counter that features a nixie tube display.

After a fair amount of designing and redesigning, I decided to make my geiger counter look like an old-timey cathedral radio with a detachable wand to check various sundries for radiation. It was a bit more ambitious of a project than I realized at first but I think the results were well worth the effort.

[Thanks, Peter!]
