Steve,

I don't have that article, but I remember a similar article which
appeared around 1965, in Electronic Experimenter Magazine.
I think it was a Harold Strand article.  It used two power tubes,
and also one or two extra tubes.  I don't remember what the
purpose of the extra tubes was.  It had a black bakelite base
and used Lucite tubes for the secondary, primary and grid
coils.  It put out about a 4" spark discharge.
