[ARC5] Suggestions Needed

[hwhall at compuserve.com]

If someone needs a few cheap NE-2 types I'm pretty sure there's still a small stash of them at the local surplus store. I think they're all prepped with the current limiter resistor for AC line use but that's removable.

Neon bulb source:
Every hot water pot I've purchased from Walmart and made in China has a neon bulb in it.  The switch contacts are a bit too small for the power draw and the heat tends to burn out the switch in a year or two of daily use.  I harvest the NE-2 bulbs out of them. Other home appliances also use the neon bulbs most of which are wired NE-2 equivalents.  It's one of the few useful parts other than the power cord.

Good evening guys, I need some help on finding substitutions. Ken suggested asking the group. I need replacements for the Neon Voltage Limiters for the AF T.. Joel   KB0FPT
