Re: [TCML] Large Plasma Tube

     I'm pretty sure you will be fine, I had a small one break once 
during operation (I was badly overdriving it with a homemade driver, 
contact must have been poor and it must have been arcing and the glass 
heated up and cracked).  All that happened is that it got dimmer and 
made a faint hissing sound, until it stopped working.  The danger is 
when you are charging a globe, the air is sucked out before it is filled 
with cool gases.
