I need help identifying a component from a 110 VAC neon bulb circuit in a vintage GE alarm clock. The component is a black cylinder approximately 1/2" long and 1/8" in diameter. It has two color bands, one green and one yellow. This component and the neon bulb were wired in series across 110 VAC with the green band end soldered to one of the bulb leads. I've measured 122 VAC across the circuit, 108 VAC across the bulb, and 32 VAC plus 14.4 VDC across the mystery component. The positive lead of my VOM contacted the yellow band lead of the component.
