Bill Parker "Sleepless Nights" plasma globe - RIP

So I got this Parker globe a few weeks ago... high quality plasma sculpture that was sitting in a warehouse for 30 years.

Power supply burned out within a few hours so I eventually caved and disassembled it. I was running it on my own ZVS driver for a while and it worked great... unfortunately even at low power the electrode melted on a small point. Parker's globes were really bad at spreading current around the electrode. Real beauty while it lasted.

If anyone else has a Parker globe I'd love to see it! These are quite rare but I'll bet somebody here has one.
