I'm looking for a source for several three lead neon lamps. I purchased
a Sgi Galileo video analog breakout box and two neon lamps on the PC
board are broken. There are no makings on the lamps. I assume they are
some kind of protective device.
I've been browsing several lamps sites and have only seen two lead lamps.

How aere they wired, and what do the electrodes look like? 3 lead 'neons'
say to me 'Trigger Tubes' but they have 3 very different electrodes, and
I can't think of any good reason for putting them in a modern computer.

They may be some form of 'gaseous arrestor'-these are available in a
variety of striking voltages and surge current ratings-3 lead ones are
typically used in telco equipment to protect balanced metallic i/o ports.
