[ARC5] ARC-5 receiver audio transformer question

[Kenneth G. Gordon]

So, I am going through my stash of bits, sorting them out and labeling 
them. 

In a box of old can-caps and other detritis, I find three audio 
transformers, all the ES-691027 types.

Two had open primaries, but otherwise "looked" OK. Secondaries were OK.

One had had its bottom opened up with a hack-saw for some reason. The 
perp had made two cuts, forming a triangle, and had filed part of it 
down, then had split it open to reveal the internal connection to the 
case, which he had removed. It was floating.

Also, the neon bulb was missing.

Testing the transformer reveals that it is OK, with no internal shorts, 
nor open circuits anywhere.

I resoldered the "ground" connection to the case, and closed up the gap 
as best I could.

Then, I removed, one at time, the neon bulbs from the bad transformers, 
as carefully as I could, with a view to reinstalling one on the good 
transformer.

However, first I broke a lead off one of them right at the glass, and 
when moving the second one, I dropped it and shattered the glass on the 
concrete floor.

Drat!

I looked up what that bulb is, and the manual says it is a GE type T-2. 
So far, I have not found any specifications for the T-2, and as far as I 
can find out, the only neon bulbs still available are the NE-2.

So now what?

Anyone have any suggestions?

I want to install this transformer in one of my badly "pre-hacked" 
receivers in which the output transformer is missing.
