So I just recieved the caps from ebay and am pretty ready to build this, only now I am worried about killing my nst with resonant rise. (NSTs keep getting harder to find) Would a tripler using 3300pf caps present a problem? Would there be any easy way to prevent this from happening? I might try something as simple as a saftey gap, yet if there is a better way to prevent this I would like to know...

I've run Electronic Work Bench (spice derived) simulations in the past to study an inductive NST running a capacitive voltage multiplier. Can't find the files but remember that I suspected it might be possible to get into resonant voltage rise problems and that one should use care in trying the idea. Has to work for small capacitors of course but when they get into the 0.01 ufd region and above (to improve regulation) trouble may be brewing.
