Re: Hard tube Tesla coil drivers
	You probably don't need the pulser for the pulsed
oscillator.  Early triode transmitters were almost all
"squegging" or blocking oscillators which turned themselves
off after a relatively short pulse.  Have more dope on the
subject for those who are interested.  Secret is very high
voltage (10 kV+), tube with good emission, and power supply
with large output capacitance.  I don't think any of these
are hard to get.  Certainly a neon transformer could be 
rectified (string of 1N4007's) should work fine.
