The thing that always amused me about fluorescents is that if you kicked up the voltage enough, you didn't need filaments on either end and a simple buzzer-like inverter could have provided AC to them even off a DC circuit. That's how the battery-powered camping versions worked.

But I remember CI's saying that the green ones were getting priced over the moon back in the 70's because they were a "specialty item" ... they apparently went the way of green phosphor "P1" picture tubes. :)
