   A surplus dealer was mentioned on this list (I think) several  
weeks ago that had brand new telephone dials.

   Hard to find??  Not even close.  I bought a bag of them a year or  
so ago on eBay, brand new...the seller had a HUGE quantity of them,  
he probably still has more.  I think I paid $5.00 for 75 of them.

   Standard NE-2 series neon lamps are even available from regular  
component distributors like Mouser Electronics.

   None of these have built-in resistors by the way.
