The testing for these was not quite so complex as the Nixies. It ended up being a process of connecting up all the Neon bulbs in parallel, each with a resistor. This ensured the bulbs weren't fighting for voltage, and prevented any possible resistor overload.

Good to see that all the bulbs work...mmmm...glowy neony goodnesss. :)
