Hi.
A thyratron is basically a high voltage switch. I worked in an R&D laser lab 
years ago, we used them for switching high voltage flashlamps used to pump dye 
lasers. Around 10 to 20,000 volts or so. There are various sizes and types of 
course.
They might be worth something to the right people.
