Power line monitor neon repair

Well here I go again just ran across the fix for the neon bulb repair replacement on the power line monitor.  I am planning on tackling this project when my new neon bulbs come in.  Along with the higher value resistors to make the neon indicator last forever.  I will post pictures and info.  This was originally posted about 10 years ago and I ran across it and thought it might be some interest in this fix again.

I redid the neons then replaced the unit a few years later.  My units needle  fluttered at times. Gauge not the voltage.  The unit  was not precise enough to help me monitor/diagnose as much as I wanted/needed.
