Hey Mike,
Just a hypothetical question. What if you used the too small 5w transformer but on the plate of the 6F6 driver tube you use a 5k 10w resistor to supply the HV. Then use a few mfd coupling cap from the plate to the primary and ground the other primary lead. Sort of resistance coupling to the primary. Does this help to lesson the saturation issue. Have seen it done some 100w level AM transmitters to drive the 807's in the modulator.
Sorry A little off topic.

I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!
