Ok ... A neon bulb for 'One' and 'Zero' that flashes on and off.
I don't recall anything about the frequency response of those, but you might
find the datasheet helpful, which can be accessed at my tubes page, at:
http://www.classiccmp.org/rtellason/tubes.html
and I also happen to be downloading a bunch of related material from here:
http://www.electricstuff.co.uk/oldbooks.html
some of which might help...

Heck I was
thinking of Ne bulbs for a computer. :)
I seem to remember that Lindsay Books have reprinted at least one old
book on making neon signs :-)... More seriously, there is a useful book called
'Cold Cathode Tube Circuit
Design' that contains circuits for using neon bulbs as counters and shift
registers. However, I don't think this book has been reprinted, and it's
not cheap second-hand (no, my copy is not for sale!)
Since you got more books than me, Do you have anything on the
frequency response of 0b2 voltage regulator with the standard .01 uf
bi-pass cap? I was hopeing to use a few in my latest amp?
