another neon tube....they are pretty cheap if you find a custom place who will blow the neon in the shape or words you want....other than that they are pretty useless...unless you like shocking yourself then its of use.

No use for the ignitor but I'd set that transformer up with a couple of stainless rods and make a Jacob's Ladder . . . looks like something out of a horror movie.

Hey pancake! I want to set up a vacuum bench in my shop and build my own neon signs. None of the local hardware stores sell transformers for signs, and I'm in the "parts collection" stage of the "sign-building hobby". Since you're thinking of throwing it away, would you consider selling the transformer to me for, say ten bucks?FTE wont allow me to post my email address here, and there is a way for you to get it (or for me to send it to you, but I forget where the instructions were) Thanks.

I don't know if it may be my security settings or not, I'll try to find out by experimenting with my computer, it sure seems to have alot of bells&whistles on it, though. I think it has something to do with my address book....
