Hi, does anybody know a source of replacement neon's for the older HP illuminated power buttons (see picture) I tried goggling thr HP part number but haven't come up with much. And an image search just throws up lots of hits for miniature bulbs, which it's isn't it's definitely a neon (95v in this case) |

I googled "T1 neon" and found this https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/293178384132 No idea if this seller is any good, or even if this part would work for you. It might just be the entrance to a very deep rabbit hole. Happy hunting. Dave |

Ah perfect, thanks. I didn't even know it was called a T1 neon, or sub midget flange |

You may receive suggestions to replace the neon with an LED, by adding a diode and changing the limiting resistor. Unless you absolutely cannot find a suitable replacement neon, I would not recommend it. I may be prejudiced, but I positively love the soft neon glow. And you would keep your vintage device, well, vintage. |

They are usually an A1H neon, the one linked in reply #1 is too small. David |
