Well... Here is a proof

still do not trust? ;)

Green tube was made at Neon workshops in Paris, with some help by Richard, my first tube ever, clear reds and pinks are made by me completely in-house.

For bending I use (not shown here) a standard double-horn cannonfire with round heads.

Do not worry, microamp meter here is not for bombarder, it is my DIY TC gauge, old-style russian glass gauge tube is attached to manifold port nearby.

As a bombarder now I use two high-power neon xformers in parallel, hidden here under the table, which give me about ~180mA current for small electrodes. To be more in a prescribed range I plan to add third one and SCR regulator.
