Wait a minute ... will a choke input work with a gas tube as a load? The choke-rectified input is designed to work into a resistive type load, but basically acting itself as a voltage source, capable of psuedo regulation over a wide range of load currents (as long as current through choke remains continuous). I guess putting a series resistor in front of the gas tube will make it ok, but you have to burn extra power. Was just worried that a voltage source was driving a voltage source. Must have some significant voltage drop between the two, burned off by a resistor or CCS.
