Dont drop your HeNe tube

[Experimentonomen]

Here is a HeNe tube that had the unfortunate demise of falling off a table.

By hitting the tube against the table i was able to get the bore somewhat back in place:

Now if there just was a way to weld the bore back in place.

It should still power up if there are no cracks in the outer glass. No, it won't lase, but I wanna see anyway.

I´ve spent the last month cleaning up my basement and unfortunately the psu got thrown away without me noticing.

I guess i could make some kinda makeshift psu tho, i did power it up once before i lost the psu tho, entire tube went reddish.
