   HELLO,

  Ok on my vacuum box was made with 2/8 glass.

  On the variac it sad that i was puting 50 volts in to the neons and that was
when i had the spark gap in the vacuum box. The vacuum was 8 psi on the ga.

  With the spark out of the vacuum box the variac sad that i was puting 75 to
85 volts in the neons.  I hope this helps??????
