ok so i got polarity wrong,!
BUT, if we measure resistance as a ratio between A & K , then the anode is about 10x the distance the cathode from the kv trigger, which means about 10% of the trigger current will make it over to C3,,
again is this a problem or is the trigger current insignificant enough (and/or capacitor large enough ) to handle the shock from the trigger charge?
also if C3 is absorbing the trigger charge, how is it able to ionize the tube and complete the circuit?
