Nifty.  I have two of the general radio Strobotachs that used the neon
tubes.  I'm reversing direction on one.  I'm putting solid state
internals in it with a microprocessor to read the big pot and set the
speed.  That will get rid of the drift that plagues this model.

Best part is, I can fit the microprocessor without stripping out any of
the tube guts other than removing the tubes so the unit can be restored
to original if desired.

I also have a modern StroboTach.  Now that thing is slick.  I picked up
6 spare conducted arc strobe tubes for practically nothing at a hamfest.
 NIB.  I 'bout freaked when I saw the company now making the StroboTachs
charging $500 for a replacement flash tube.
