Hi Bob,
             We  made it, 3/4 inch thick Plexiglas walls, 3 Welch 27 cfm 
vacuum pumps each with
1 1/2 inch ports to the vacuum table, 7 stopper holes for wire feed 
through, base is 1 inch stainless,
top cover is one inch thick, gaskets at each end, vertical lift off base 
system to change
internal experiments or roll the whole tube away from the base / table.

Main variable power supply is 2600 volts at 10 amps, DC and filtered. 
Easier to study
discharges at lower pressure, less voltage, closer look. Else place 
grounded wire on nose!
Mike
