I am back with some data.
The panaplex is a Beckman sp-356 indeed (see picture), but I would rather leave it mounted.
I measured DC resistance of the transformer four input pins, those that go straight to the card connector and here is the result:
AB 58 ohm
BC 358 ohm
CD 712 ohm
Unfortunately nothing indicates the dual supply trick Dave mentioned.
Now I need to find a way to obtain 120Vac from European mains. Perhaps a 220/12 chained to 24/220? Needless to say I do not own a variometer (yet :-) ).

Good point on the Japanese input. Interesting how it happens to be in a US made device located in the European land :)
Anyway I am afraid my first journey into panaplex is already over. Tonight I used a CCFL driver circuit to test wirelessly some zm1020 nixies and I also tried the panaplex: no sign of gas from it while a picture on ferrotronix website shows it should glow. If it is still working I should get a glow, shouldn't I?

I'm sorry for inconveniences on the website.We have all the technical information, parts and knowledge about Gralex meters.
If you like contact directly the expert on this technology please use info@gralex....
