A device that conducts when high voltage is applied is usually a 'spark gap' and those parts don't look like any I've ever seen.

If they are meant to bleed static voltages to ground then they could be very high resistance resistors (10MΩ or higher) but that doesn't mean they can't suffer from 'flashover'.

But, if you've got a Fluke then you should get an actual reading from the component......
yeah,, ok, thank you , Thats what i thought too,,, i will head in that direction,, Yes, as in flashover,, the two damaged conponents were actually arcing across betweet each other,,,

Could you draw the circuit diagram?
The neon looks in pristine condition so the unit has not been used much.

They could be capacitors in a voltage doubler.

There is one, bottom right with a browm tummy. Overheated resistor?
Hello duke37,
I note that you mentioned the neon.
I have an older unit (BEV3/M800), and I need to replace the neons of which there are 4.
Do you have a suggestion as to what I should use please?
Thanks heaps!
Kind regards,
Noel
