I have several boxes of individual neon letters that were part of a sign made many years ago that allowed you to change what the sign said as you saw fit. Here is an example of one of these signs lit up:

I do not have the backing structure you put these letters onto that generated an RF field that lit them up. Does anyone have any idea what type of circuitry would generate a relatively localized RF field that would excite neon filled letters placed in close proximity to it? It was a tilted metal surface with little slots that the bottoms of the letters fit into. No electrodes are on the letters, they lit up just by being placed in the slots.
Thanks,
Jeff
