Hi Trevor, if you replace the HVR2 with a silicon diode (try the RS focus diode types, which I think are rated to 18KV). This will lift the EHT by about 5% as the rectification drops are less. PM me with details if you need a new cap as I have some ex-gov ones that can be tested to see if they are leaking, and should be OK (but are quite big)
