Thanks John, I must admit it's hard to understand how a 3 watt 100k
ohm resistor across the 240 V lines would blow even if everything down
stream of it was shorted. (As your calculation shows.) A new circuit
board is in the mail, but this won't solve the mystery. The board has
been redesigned and is no longer analog but digital. Once I put the
new board in I'll look at the busted one and see if I can figure
anything out.


Say could you resend that link to the neon bulb I-V curve? What ever
you posted got turned into gobble-de-gook by google.

Ah, Google...

Google groups doesn't support binaries so I'll email it to you.
