Ok, good question.
This thread is nominally about the voltage reference in
the 141T, older models, that was a gas regulator tube,
that looked like an oversized NE2.
It has been a very long time since I abandoned the 141T
series as being useful, but I recall the problematic gas
reference tube that looks like a large NE2. Others that
I respect have informed during this thread that they are
89V.
Do you know differently?
Since 87V is neither the 67V nor the 89V that I mentioned,
you could be talking about the NE2's ionization voltage,
I am not sure...
That is even older information I got from my dad, back
when I was a teenager, some nearly 50 years ago. I have
seen 90V strike, and 67V ionization as the nominal values
for the NE2 many times over the years. But I never would
use one as a reference, so its exact value is unimportant
to me.

Hi Chuck,
Without any disrespect or challenge intended¡
How, sir, do you know these ionize around 87 volts?
Thank you.
Regards,
Ken

They aren't NE2's. NE2's run at about 67V, these run at about 89V.
