Hi All,
I have been trying to buy a bunch of NE-68 and NE-81 Neon bulbs to repair some Burroughs counting modules that I have where the bulbs have cracked and the gas has escaped, the cracks have happened since the modules had been stored poorly so the pins corroded. I haven't found any place yet that actually has them in stock, when I have tried to buy the ones supposedly in stock there were none to be had.
I've also been thinking about if it would be possible to use either a zener diode or TVS, one-way or two-way, to emulate the Neon bulb, does anyone have any experience with this?
