In my coil (with the 833A) the orange glow is
definately concentrated at the center, often with the
perimeter staying cooler.

One problem I definately have, which I've known about,
is some stray inductance in the wiring for the
doubler.  I need to pick up more female spade lugs and
make sure every wire is as short as possible.
