[sdiy] Visible Tube Organ

[Toby Paddock]

Ken,
Could you explain a little about neon sustain?
I can imagine using the bulb kind of like a switch:

(with a huge nasty thump at turn on/off I'm guessing)

Or is it biasing a tube? Or something else?

If they are DC, that kills my idea of listening 
to them with a photo sensor.

Do you know if the leslie comes out as a unit?
My LSL is the almost twin brother of the the 
one on your page:

Toby Paddock
