Group,
I ran across a source of 12" plasma globes for those of you interested in 
playing with this sort of thing.  I ordered three -- two arrived with 
broken off filler tips, but the third was sealed with an interesting gas 
mixture inside.  The open ones could be resealed with a bit of glassblowing.

One open one looked looked it had been removed from a base, and had a lot 
of removable silicone adhesive around the neck.  The other open unit had no 
adhesive, but a spot circled in black marker with an arrow suggesting that 
it was a pinhole.  I don't know if it can be worked out or not.

I have no commercial interest in the site -- just passing along the info 
for anyone interested.

Probably searching on the part number will work better. (34464)

Parts arrived 7 days from web order date, well packed.   Shipping was 
reasonable.  No power supply, but that shouldn't be a problem for anyone in 
this group!

Merry Christmas!
