Richard,

Hey thanks! That was just what I needed.  After "lettin' the smoke out" of a
coupla light bulbs,(just to test of course) I hooked it up to my bank of 5
9K 60ma neons, and "turned up tha juice".  It doesn't seem right to me, but
after a little fiddlin' around with the tune, it seems to put out longer
sparks at around 85-90 volts? Go figger :)  Anyway from what i've read here,
neons don't like "overvoltage", so I didn't bother to try 140v on them.
Thanks again, and Thanks to Sandy for your help too! Read ya all later.

                                     Ken
