John, I have not modified my MOT. I will look into this but it's not too
obvious how to get the transformer apart without damage. I still have
other options pending time to try them - add more primary turns (I am at
the end of the coil at 32 turns, may take another turn or two), change
grid leak resistance (I am using 5k Ohm), adjust the feedback coil higher
(this is where I got arc over before so I need a corona shield to do
this).

Thanks for your comments.
Jim

  Hi Jim,
   
   I see you've increased the spark length greatly since we last  e-mailed.
  I forget if you said you removed the shunts from the MOT?  I generally  do 
  that
  and it helps the spark length because of the higher peak currents.   Some
  shunts can be hard to remove without destroying the MOT.  But in any  case,
  yes, VTTC's usually take time to optimize.  It's all a matter of  increasing
  the spark length yet preventing the tube plate from getting too red.  
   
  Thanks for the update,
