I want to see where Buzz finds a .05@ 5 or 6KV.  The .001's and .005's mylars are not too hard to find.

When my pals were reading comic books
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!

Maybe this, but not cheap.

Buzz has a network of followers who probably have a good stash of HV caps.

Currently there are some .05 5kv's on eBay.... not cheap, but available.  When I was doing my Pilot TV I found HV caps at the Dayton Hamfest and I think I bought enough to do my other Pilot too (if I can ever find where I put the caps).

The TV is beautiful, love the screen and the effect it gives, the Puppet/Mannequin thing is horrifying, I have a thing about Puppets and also about Clowns. Even the word "puppet" chills me.  Icon_shifty

Thanks for sharing the resto and your unique video productions.  Icon_clap
