A local shop has a neon sign in the trash. It fell, and the tube
broke. I suppose the power supply is good. The specs are on the power
supply: 7000-8000 volts output. I can't think of any use for it, and
it's not as if I have room for any more junk.

Is there any reason I should grab it?

Exactly the right voltage for a home electric chair - and more than enough
amps.

Nowhere near, most NST are good for 20-30mA and by their nature are current
limited, potentially dangerous, but not automatically lethal. Microwave oven
transformers on the other hand are another thing entirely. Safety is
important, and any high voltage should be respected and used carefully, but
overblown dire warnings accomplish nothing. I was playing with NSTs by the
time I was 10 years old, I've made it this far.

Aha!! That might explain a lot of things about you. G
