P.S., one side comment on these. If you use the 8mm EGL electrodes, be
apprised of the fact that once in a while, more often by far than for normal
electrodes, they leak at the wire seal. I just spent hours looking for a
phantom leak which finally turned out to be right there in the back end of
the electrode itself where the Dumet leads pass through. By then the phosphor
had blown and I had to start over, so watch for this possible problem when
you use these.
