I'm trying to remember how mine worked on leakage and it seemed like the eye flashed open and closed. If this was the case, a gas discharge tube, or a neon bulb would make sense.

I'm guessing that's what it is, because like I said the ARF forum thread linked to here by Jr. suggested that might of been what it was.
But like I said when I was testing some capacitors I had on hand (including some of the ones I took out of the cap checker itself) it didn't seem like it was working like it should of...
Although like I said, it doesn't help matters any that my selection of eye tubes I have on hand are crap (they are very weak and don't glow very bright and aren't very responsive.)
