I'm afraid that radiologically enhanced neon bulbs are
pretty much a thing of the past. Once, the public viewed
the use of radioactive materials as being new and sciency.
Now, they are terrified... and the regulations are to match.
Once upon a time, I had a pair of steel enveloped reference
tubes, of this sort (really tiny, grain of rice sized) that
were hot as hell gamma wise. They were made for bomb fuses,
and were pulled from the trash by some dead relative of mine
at Diamond Ordinance and Fuse Labs in the '50s.
Tektronix scopes of the 513D era were full of glass cased,
silver covered neon like reference tubes that kick up the
geiger counter quite well.
I doubt one could economically run a production line that
made tubes like that anymore, what with the regulations
picture. The demise of the "radium girls" made that a
pretty sure thing.

There might be some NOS parts somewhere but neither Google nor eBay brings
up anything for "Signalite 82R7."
