I know. The first oscillator I ever built was a
relaxation oscillator
using a neon lamp.
Me too. It was also the first project I ever built from a magazine
article (the 'Neon Novelty' from Everyday Electronics back in the early
70's). Since the 2-neon version could be built on a chocolate block, and
since this was before I'd learnt to solder, it was an ideal project for
me (even if a 90V dry battery was a little dangerous...).
