Re: [TCML] Large Plasma Tube

I'm pretty sure you will be fine, I had a small one break once
during operation (I was badly overdriving it with a homemade driver,
contact must have been poor and it must have been arcing and the glass
heated up and cracked). All that happened is that it got dimmer and
made a faint hissing sound, until it stopped working. The danger is
when you are charging a globe, the air is sucked out before it is filled
with cool gases.
