 I have one, I bought it for testing neon sign tubes. I leave it in my car so I can grab bargain neons as soon as they pop up on CL.


 


 I tried it on nixies, It works, but I did somehow manage to blow the decimal points off a couple of IN-14's when using it.

   It looks like it was designed for some other purpose and may be available for less elsewhere.

Bingo. It's a bit shabbier than the much more expensive handheld Tesla coil we 
used in neon school but the price is hard to beat. Ordered.

I assume it's high-voltage+high-frequency intended to ionize gas in a tube 
being tested for leaks.
More convenient than lugging your plasma globe around at swap meets, etc.
