Well, that explains the sorry voltage regulation---the more stages of
voltage multiplication used the poorer the regulation will be. A modern
flyback (doesn't use a multiplier) with built-in focus & G2 pots would
be a massive improvement for this circuit (and could get rid of MC1 at
the same time).

I don't suppose you counted turns (granted, that would be a bit much to
ask for)?

Looks like you have enough information to find a replacement flyback (or
an existing flyback if mounting can be modified).
