Two-Color Vacuum Fluorescent Display Clock VFD Clock Retro Electronic VFD Digital Clock with Temperature Compensation chip

This repurposed oven display turned into a clock is really cool.The enclosure is custom cut plexiglass. Some reviews say it is cardboard - that is incorrect. The plexiglass comes with a protective paper cover you remove. There is no cardboard in the construction of the clock.Other reviews say it has no instructions. That is also incorrect. There is a QR code you scan to download the instructions. The device is controlled with three buttons - a set button and two up/down buttons. Even without the instructions its pretty easy to figure out.The clock is powered by an included USB-C cable. My only complaint is that a USB power brick wasn't included. For a $50 clock, adding a $2 power brick seems easy. But, it works with any USB supply and if you don't have one laying around you can buy one for a couple dollars.Overall I love the look of this clock. The fit and finish of the plexiglass enclosure is excellent, it keeps time well and has a unique look.

It's just what it looks like - an old oven display repurposed and slapped in a makeshift enclosure. As long as that's what you expect, this is it. My display arrived bright and without defects, except for two scorches on the inside of the display edge. They might just be from assembly or old usage, and they don't affect anything visible when lit.There were two other things that added to the makeshift-ness:- It's not even plastic all around, some of the pieces were some kind of paperboard. You can even see some random company's logo on it. I don't really care, it kind of adds to the brutalist charm for me.- The pane on front came with some protective film still applied on both sides of it. It might be meant to diffuse the light, but it was a little bubbly, so I think probably not. If you have a H2.5 screwdriver, you can get the pane off in 30 seconds and remove the film from both sides.

The brightness is great on the higher setting. All the elements are super crisp and the red is a nice deep red. Definitely a cool piece to have! Had to get it after seeing a video by Posy on YouTube haha

Here is the trick, the bottom button sets the input mode, hours, minutes, etc. The top two buttons move forward or back. The specific mode is the third red number on far right after seconds display. cycle through them all to set time and date.
