I didn't realize there were VFD tubes, either. Dieter's Nixie World has plans for a VFD tube clock:

Wow, that VFD clock is very cool. Too bad you can't find a model number, I'd love to search for one.
And thanks for the mention of the Tamura Lumitime clock. I looked on Ebay for one and there were no clocks but there was a seller with an NOS Lumitone clock radio. Brand new in the box.
I was outbid on the auction, then the seller contacted me and said he had another new one from his uncles storage locker. It arrived last week, expensive but looking great as I took it out of the box. Everything looks new and works perfect, not bad for an item sitting around since 1974.
Thanks for mentioning some very cool early digital clocks in this thread, they are a favorite of mine as well.
A GE/Telechron was my first digital clock radio when I was growing up and man was I disappointed when I saw half of the display go dead and found 2 lightbulbs and a mechanical movement. Wish I still had that one too.. lol
