I have a few --- $45 each.    They are not hysteresis synch type
which means that sometimes you have to throw the switch on/off 2 or 3
times before they go into sync but they will sync up.   We usually
bring up the variac to 30% to check spark output ---- if it's normal
then crank the variac up to the desired setting as the rsg is in
synch.   If out of sync the output is considerably less.

We use these motors with a 1/4 inch thick x 7.25 inch dia. type LE or
CE phenolic disk for the rotors and 3/16 inch tungsten rod for the
electrodes.

That sure sounds like a pain in the other side of your lap.....with 
all your resources,  you don't have a vendor for easy-to-get  rotory 
gap motors?    If not,  I'd go with the DC charging circuit  design.
