Hello Dave,

in the schematic, the polarity of the diodes in series with the neon bulbs is definitely wrong.

If you compare with the 3420A on page 7-7 (29), but also with the Fluke 845 which is similar, both neons have to be switched at 180°.

Maybe someone else has erroneously reversed one of the diodes in your unit before?

If both neons are really firing in phase, instead, that could explain this non-symmetric waveform, which you observe.

Frank
