Hi Steve -

	Here are two sources:

		(1) RADIO SHACK:
			Part number 272-1145 - $3.95/ea
			Trigger: 4Kv, Anode: 200-300v
			(with a data sheet, but not amazingly helpful)

		(2) All Electronics	1-(800)-826-5432
		    P.O. Box 567
		    Van Nuys, CA  91408
			Part Number FLT-1 - 2 for $1.00


	Note a few things:  (1) Radio Shack will give you quantity discounts
of 10% on 12-29Z, 25% on 50-499Z.  (I'm not sure what kind of quantity
you're looking for, but this offer is good on all electronics parts they
sell).  (2) The tube from All Electronics is a straight tube, as opposed
to radio shack's traditional "U" shaped tube.  They did not offer any data
in their ad about the tube, but it has just an anode and a cathode (two
leads) instead of the usual three.


	I don't know how to use either of these tubes!!!  I posted to
sci.electronics last month about how to make use of them with a 12vdc power
source, and got *NO RESPONSES*.  If you can help me, get in touch by mail
(preferrably bitnet, as it's more reliable).  Thanks, and good luck, Steve.
