I see that I made a mistake; it should be MAX6921. good luck :)

Very cool project, do you happen to have more info such as schematics and code?

Maxim also has a chip that can replace the optoisolators the MAX6922

  Are you sure? yes | no

I have to say, that I can't really recommend building this clock as such.. MAX6922 could be a good thing, but I couldn't get the VFD grids to switch fast enough to eliminate all ghosting. 

I need to take a look at the 6922.. 

  Are you sure? yes | no
