Thanx for the suggestion of the uwave diodes. I did try two different
uwave diodes, but only got about 8 KV from either one, not sure why,
as they should have easily handled the CRT current, but the forward
drop seemed to be the problem, so I took the easy way out and used the
old color tv diode.

Interesting, I wonder if they were not fast enough? Domestic diodes may not
be as good as commercial/industrial diodes too, not sure.

The ones I was using were configured as a voltage doubler, so that may have
got around issues with them.

At any rate you got it working and that's the important part.
