Looking more at numbers,
Are some of these left over from some spark gap coil?

Hi Steve,
I'm no expert, but familiar some on tube coils.
Yes spacing is Okay. I feel it helps.
I have done this on a much smaller coil with success. 1/4" for me if I
remember correctly.
Covers approximately 3/4 of secondary.
Increases coupling further I feel on already a lot on tube coils which is
normal, because of smooth oscillations you can do this.
I have not looked at all numbers yet, but are your input voltages correct?
Are you gonna pulse? If so they can be higher within limits.
Not sure that tube can handle that voltage, because of ceramic support
structure it has inside, if I remember correctly that it has ceramic.
And if it did you are just right about there for soft x-rays starting.
Again just some thoughts.
I'm sure some others will confirm or correct me.
