Hey Chris,
Thanks for the input. I am wondering why a neon bulb would include a
100K resistor... To maybe lessen the current being driven through the
bulb? I'm going to have to check that out.

Appreciate your feeback.

The neon lamp works the same as a gas voltage
regulator--about 80 volts or so IIRC...
The resistor serves to limit the current.

Gotcha. Thanks.
