while reading about kick back killing neons, it dawned on me that
typical 
automotive spark plug wire is a carbon core with 30KV insulation around
it.  
It is designed to suppress all sorts of stuff yet pass a decent
current.  It 
seems to me that the neon to capacitor connections could be made with
this 
wire, with the following benefits:

1. protection of the neon(s)
2. RF suppression for 60HZ line
3. protection of the user due to good HV insulation
4. cheap
5. no inductors to build
