IIRC Radio Shack still stocked some mini Neon bulbs (been a while since I checked). You can find mini neons in some of the test lights electricians use to check if an outlet or lamp junction box is hot. There are also parts houses on the net that should stock them.
CFLs will also work in place of the neon (though if you break one open you will have a mercury spill).
Any neon or florescent should work....The small ones are nice since you can gut a defunct plastic pen, glue a bulb roughly it's diameter to the end and have a built in "chicken stick"/means of finding the bulb easier.
