neon indicators

[tomg]

Hi Ken, have you ever seen one of paia's tube preamps? 
They use a 4049 inverter powered voltage tripler that 
gives up about +40V from a +12Vsupply . The current 
is low but you wouldn't need that much for neons. You 
might be able to add another stage to the voltage tripler. 
If it works it would give you about +55-60V.
