I bet that could be built easily for less than $20 with all new components and would solve a lot of "why won't this saw run?" type questions. It would not be a perfect solution but it would go a long way. Capacitor/condenser checkers are getting pretty reasonable on line so that would be another option, one that I took a year or so ago.

This sure looks like a fun project. I've never played with neon lamps before. Only thing I can't understand is it shows the resistors run in parallel across the lamps, but most schematics I can find show the resistors in series. This is a little different since it's not intended to just run the lamp continuously which is what most circuits are doing and the lamps are basically just getting a burst of a DC voltage across them. Anyway, it looks like a fun thing to try out. Thanks for sharing the schematic!

Looks like a fun project to build. This place should have everything one would need. It is an awesome electronics related supply contact. www.allelectronics.com/ |

The output of this tester might be a little dangerous as it will have something like 160 volts on it. The current would be limited but it could be a little scary for sparks and shocks if one was not perfectly careful with the test leads. They only get hot with the push button so what danger there is would be limited to those times the button is pushed.

I would be more inclined toward a battery powered checker as this seems like overkill with that much juice. |

Thanks! I just re-found this post to reference over there. You found it faster than me!
