Looks awesome. Going to be a beautiful set when done.

I seem to remember someone advising me to also have current running to the cathodes while doing this for the proper effect, but then I've also encountered suggestions for just leaving the heater at like 8-10Vs or something and letting it simply sit there.

For now, I can scavenge some from the KV-1203 which uses a few of the same type, but it's not an ideal situation.
Can you just solder some new leads onto the old neon bulbs? If they are still functional, there's no reason that you can't reuse them.
