Thyratron Tesla Coil attempt 9

So I just blew up my vintage EG&G thyratron modulator. Stray RF through the thyratron grid cooked the pulse transformer. 

In the pic is my blocking oscillator which I will try to run the system with. Already having arcs through the pulse transformer.

Level of difficulty keeps increasing.  But I keep trying because this thing is a beast when it fires up.
