Subject: DC solution to neon xfmr problems?

It has been about 50 years since I built a Tesla coil, but hope to build 
another in the next year. I have neon sign xfmrs and obits to work with and don't 
want to burn them out as I hear is a problem. My question is, why can't I just 
put the xfmr output through a bridge rectifier or even doubler to keep 
problem spikes from coming back to the xfmrs?
