    interesting  conclusion    the way the rectified AC ….will load up the capacitor with rectified half cycles should also present those  half cycles to the neon lamp causing it to shine.     Internal leak in the capacitor  could  disrupt the shine  by shorting it out momentarily causing blinks as you indicated.

    this woul be  oppposite to mr.Mohat ‘s test box where  the  caps are loaded  up  with about 275vdc by a voltage doubler  cct.   Any leaks  are picked up by the neon bulb  blinking or steady ON indicating a bad capacitor.

    I have not built the  one in the attached drawing and would need to  to confirm it’s operation. I the mean time I’ll try to dig up  a circuit description for it to clear things up.

    thanks for pointing it out.  IF anyone  has built one please feel free to comment.

     

     

    upate:… not much luck finding a cct description & operation….anybody built one of these ???
