Posting a video sent from one of our members that need help in defining the issue. Usually seen and requiring longer burn in, but any idea why it would happen over an extended time?
First option, take tube out and attach to 1500/60ma transformer. One lead only, let burn for at least 15 minutes. Attachment to both leads, burn overnight. If it is fixed, check the Temp of the tube with your fingers, if it More than warm, it will last for a short time....all Mercury tubes should be cool to the touch, if not then you need a new tube.. 30 yrs Neon in the Neon art
