Nice! But I would hate to scrap out an early Motorola, though it may come to that... right now, I am leaning more toward harvesting the flyback out of a cheapo thrift store Bentley (or similar) 5 inch set and driving it with a 555/power transistor circuit to make 4 to 5 kV... I suspect that something like that could work.

Or perhaps something like this:
