Yes, that's right. I've decided to make brand new, high grade neon bulb assemblies to help keep all these older flip clocks with the orange neon glow lamps running and looking like they should. The bulb assemblies done right are not cheap to make. See the article for all the details.
I haven't decided if I'm going to list them on eBay or what I'm going to do just yet. Actually, I just got all the materials together today and only have two right now.

Great! I ordered two. I find that there is a big difference between "light works" in the eBay description, and "light works well enough to read the time at 3 AM."
I now have three flip clocks (Houston we have a problem) and while the lights technically work on al of them, they all have a black coating on the inside of the bulb that blocks a substantial part of the output.
I notice the new NE-2H bulbs are 25,000 Average Rated Hours. I guess that the bulb is supposed to be replaced approximately every 3 years?

I didn't realize that I was selling those to a FlipClockFan member. Sorry I screwed the shipping up. I finally figured how to configure the listing the way I wanted it to ring up.
Let us know when you get them.

Give me your model numbers and I'll see what I can do for you. I'm not familiar with all flip clocks, but I'll see what I have.~ Mackey Site Administrator
