Hi all,
           Just like to comment on adding more neons for more output. 
Firstly, you should be adding more primary capacitance to suit. Same
Vcap = same energy/bang and rep rate is unchanged. Secondly, adding
resistance in series with neons to power share is chewing up available
power in the resistors. You would be better off not adding more neons.
Thirdly, one should always be aware that capacitances hooked across a 
neon form a resonant circuit with the neon's leakage inductance and 
opening the gap too wide can subject them and the cap/s to higher 
voltages than the open-circuit neon voltage.
