So far my attempt at replication is a dud. As can be seen in the attached video, I have 3 trigger neons switching at about 300 volts of capacitor voltage. But, voltage going to the fluorescent tube is not very high since tube does not light very bright. Also only able to make very small sparks. I think you must be magic. I will try using film capacitors and see if that helps. The ceramics may not be discharging quick enough.

i get my camera charged up ...
i will show you me firing two coils with a d-cell

i can light a fluorescent tube and a cfl good but it isn't the right frequency
i need about 40 more hz to clear it up

it took me alot parts changing to get this thing right
i might even make a video of it running a microwave transformer.. smooth blue sparking

the best thing i done to get random parts for these circuits was to buy those grab boxes from goldmine.. i always get good caps.. haha
