> Where can you get the NE-2 style lamps? I can't even google them! They're tough to find. There was an AR-9 (K4A in the new numbering system), but I don't know of any vendors (Chicago Miniature (now VCC) used to make them as part #333). It shows a 50 hour life vs 25k for neon filled lamps.
The one I showed is actually a NHK GD412-200V "spark gap" tube I bought from a surplus outfit that is now out of stock. NHK no longer seems to make them. Using search terms like "glass gas discharge tube", I found that Okaya appears to make a similar one: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/OKAYA-RA-800M-C6-800V-20_60721220723.html <https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/OKAYA-RA-800M-C6-800V-20_60721220723.html> I've tried contacting them, to no avail. Other vendors I've found for the Okaya C6 type: https://www.elektronik.ropla.eu/en/magazyn/magazyn/?ic=OKA0133 <https://www.elektronik.ropla.eu/en/magazyn/magazyn/?ic=OKA0133> http://sales.dzsc.com/16589.html <http://sales.dzsc.com/16589.html> https://suzushoweb.shop-pro.jp/?pid=100846304 <https://suzushoweb.shop-pro.jp/?pid=100846304> https://www.aperza.com/product/page/2337/ <https://www.aperza.com/product/page/2337/> amazon Japan claims to have them in stock (ASIN B07BM1LHXR) for ￥880 for 10 plus shipping, but they're famous for claiming to have merchandise they can't actually obtain, and will only ship to Japan. Okaya's surge protection devices page: https://okaya.com/products/surge-products/pcb-mounted-spd/ Looks like the glass ones are their RA-C6, RA-MX-V7-Y, and RA-V7 lines. - John -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
