Here's a pic after assembling and now functioning correctly.

At this point it gets NTP time via Wifi and I can control it via  bluetooth with an app I made for my phone that for now simply adjusts brightness of the tubes and buttons and can set the timezone and daylight savings setting for NTP time.  It can also increment hours and minutes for if I wasn't using NTP to set the time.

There's space on the main board for some potentiometers to control brightness for tubes and buttons but I'm not sure if I Want those or am OK with adjusting via my phone or with a light sensor.

After this I'll need to make a case for it to be housed in!
