Correct, and by adding the series resistor for higher impedance, the

Well a couple of thoughts.
As I said modern choppers do work and have big pluses these days.
But to the neon bulb.
I would use a led thats color more approximates neon. They make them.
I rebuilt a HP5360 counter /nixie with modern 7 seg leds that matched the

I will check it out, and may do some experiments myself on these. Also, I
will take a look at the photo-FET's, as I had forgotten about those.
What has me wondering is how neon bulbs act in the circuit, their low

My guess is that the LED's brightness helped kill the CDS cells.
That is not possible by direct effect, light does not hurt CDS cells.
It is far more likely that more intense light than designed has decreased

No, not the direct light emitted from the LED, but the extra current the
cell passed was probably over their limit. I thought of placing the LED's
vertical to the Lucite rods, instead of horizontal, or head-on, to decrease
the intensity. From the side, a LED, it's much dimmer. The NE-3

Looks like a 3rd party program, not part of a DOS distribution.
Have you successfully used these third party programs with a prolific chipset?

They used Lucite rods, I shouldn't have said tubes. The neon bulbs are
about at the center of the PC board, and the CDS cells are at the edge, so
to get the light to them, they used the rods.
More than that. They wanted to minimize capacitance coupled between the
neons and cells to
I was thinking about trying an orange or yellow LED here, and dimming the

I don't know if a LED can be dimmed down that low.
LEDs work fine at low output levels. At low current, the light output is
linear with
