dont know if you have a probe for high voltage that you can put between your multimeter, then you could measure the 4,5 Kv..



4,5 KV ! , Be carefull !, its not a 12v bulb  ;)

Those kind of "trafo's" are pretty advanced and shut down if there are problems with the tube.
You might not simply see that problem.

I found the power suppplies (better name) for my large neon tubes on e-bay for very cheap. Brand was Ventex.
