    David, the length of the spark , you mentioned in the post, is measured
with             somekind of toroid or only the electrode at the top of the
magnifier?
Because with this last type of measurement I obtain 5" on 3X807 tube TC working
at only 700Vac plate voltage with a tetrode connection.

P.S I've seen your site it's very beautiful.
If you have not yet seen the mine you can look at

Happy Sparking
