Hi Greg,

A quick look up on the 4-1000A tube shows a max plate of 6kv at 600ma, i 
believe.  Hmm, even for just one, how do you suppose you will supply these 
big tubes?  And how many so you suppose that you would use?  I bet a pair 
would make one heck of a coil!  Sorry i dont have much tech stuff to offer.
But i do offer my support!  I would really be interested in seeing a coil 
of that power being built.  Im working on a dual 833A coil.  But im still 
learning.  Im sure that someone would know the feasability of using 
4-1000A's as a VTTC tube.  IT seems like it would work.  7.5v 21A 
filaments, oughhh, thats a big transformer!  And im sure your plate supply 
will also be a back breaker!  and a circuit breaker :)

Good luck!

Steve Ward.
