Re: [TCML] solid state NSTs and OBITs

Hi Shannon
     Good to know, I finally bit the bullet and got me some xenon and other
gases, and some nice custom made glass tubes, so on to looking for cheap
power supplies.  If these work it would make my life a lot easier, sourcing
flybacks and building circuits, while fun, will get old on my 14th tube for
my second cousin twice removed on my mothers side, not to mention the
cost...  However a $30 solid state OBIT or NST that I can bolt on, Yeah,
easy...
