No more HV or focus tubes necessary, maybe some work yet BUT we got 21 kV without 6BK4 connected. The cathode current was about 150 ma, less load on fly its a win-win! The focus tap was pure luck, when I first got HV the focus dialed right in as it was the right value tap on tripler, it was grounded of course.
