Well sure, why not? If you had an all static-CMOS MPU, you could even take
one of those big rheostats used for stage lighting and hook it up to a VFO
to provide a variable clock to your CPU. "Captain, if I turn it up any
higher, it'll blow for sure!".
Didn't a couple of Honeywell mainframes use bar-graph Nixie tubes to show
various system parameters?
