Magnifiers, tripolar(three phase) coils

Hmmm, all this talk of magnifiers makes me think that a clever way to 
excite three TCs with 120 degree phase shift would be to make a clever 
arrangement of magnifier primary/secondary/primary tank caps to get the 
three phase HV which then feeds the tertiary coils appropriately.

Any suggestions as to circuit topology for the primary?  arrangements of 
Wye and Delta connected primary windings or tank caps?

Basic constraint would be that you'd have only one spark gap/switch and one 
charging source.  Normally, converting single to three phase is a pain, 
but, hey, we've got a set of high Q tuned circuits here and it's narrow band.
