You probably can, depending on the type of thyratron. If they are
hollow anode, they should work well, since they conduct in both
directions after they are triggered. Otherwise, you will have to put in
a reverse diode. I don't remember how fast most of them deionize. That
could be a problem. It would be cool if they have glass envelopes so
you could see the pretty colors.
If (not likely) they are grounded-grid thyratrons, they would work well,
although they need a pretty heavy trigger pulse.
Say I, try them. If they don't work, you can always go back 100 years
and stick in a spark gap.
What are the part numbers?

Does anyone know if I can power a Tesla coil using thyratrons to pulse power from a 20 kvdc power supply/ I just scored some 25 kv thyratrons.
