OK, what do you suggest? I would prefer glow bugs, but may have to go
to solid state. I was planing on probably only 4500VDC at less than 0.5
amps. I am going to make the transformer in a box with several taps
available to change the output voltage as needed, similar to this
project that someone (I accidentally erased the post before I thanked
him) sent me the URL to after I posted this question.

The only reason for using more than 3000VDC is to reduce the drive
requirement to about 100Watts as that is about what the 32S-1 puts out.

b) Its the coolest looking tube in the world and part of this
project, maybe 85%, is to create a linear that will cause ooohs and
aaaahhs from the onlookers as they view the 4-1000A and the 866's
lit up behind the window in the front of the cabinet.
Agree 4-1000 is a neat looking tube, dont think 866 are going
to handle the volts or the current you are looking for there,
that blue glow may turn into a blue explosion..
wrong rectifiers..
