Michel, I am glad that it worked for you to hit it with a screwdriver! I have one Z504S which has four small pieces of wire inside the glass envelope, the longest one is 3mm and the shortest one is 0.5mm - I bought four Z504S's on eBay and they all had a few loose wires inside. These only work upside down as the wires then collect at the top of the glass envelope, any other way and the wires fall down between the pins and result in shorts or "neon" lamps if they fall in the wrong place. /Martin
