I was able to get 11KV and a lit screen (with unfocused unsynched color video) from it tonight by unplugging the HV regulator and bridging the open part of the focus coil with a 12ohm power resistor (which stoped the internal arcing in the coil). There are 3 100uF 450V lytics in it that are lousy, which I can't even make a good kludge replacement for...B+ was dropping and it smells bad (cap juice me thinks) so I'm probably going to put it on hold till I can get those caps.

Perhaps you do...If you take comedic exaggeration seriously.
