I did noticed though that the 2 neon bulbs in the unit will eventually need to be replaced because they aren't glowing as bright as they should be, with very little neon glow left around the cathode of the neon bulbs.
If the neon lamps are on the inside, they might be used as a voltage regulator or a simple tone generator.
