Hi All and John,

Tried the above as posted by John Freau, Works like a bomb. Now getting
400mm - 450mm discharges with the two 833A's. The anodes glow a very
dull red at full power. The MOT is a rewound unit giving 1600VAC. Tried
the 0.85uF cap but get MUCH better performance from a 10uF cap rated at
3kV. The diode is a 8kV/1.5 Amp unit - (type 6RM 80). It has a string of
diodes contained in a black resin type block - measures 1" x 1/2" x 8".

Regards to all
Pete
