3 feet high is a bit too large, hi, but the pictures on the website brings back memories. I remember the “coffee” machine, but back then (the way I remember it), it had vertically mounted an X / Y slider to generate “coffee!”/ “coffee?” 😊
I know Kees, a few years ago I helped him a bit moving house after his mother died. Last year I gave him a Siemens T1000 telex machine (5-bit) with reader/punch. He wanted to set up an RTTY mailbox … must ask him how that went along. He is a busy guy, I did not know the Evoluon website!

You could of course reproduce them: they aren't actual Nixie tubes but rather a set of advertising sign type of neon lights, so any neon light craftsman could built such a thing. paul
