Replacement Voltage rating for neon lamp in HW-16 ?

[Stu Lyon]

If the neon lamp is mounted with just its wire leads it is most likely a
NE-2 which fires at ~85 volts and unfires at ~55 volts. This lamp is very
reliable and should not require replacement.

I think I have some NE-2s in my garage and can send one to your QRZ.com
address if you like.
