The aforementioned have contributed financially to the continuing triumph of 4hv.org. They are deserving of my most heartfelt thanks.

Thank you for warning. I have worked with HV so don't be afraid of me :P
My friend wrote about this tube. This tube worked in a military navigation system in impulse technique. 2 tubes were connected in parallel and their average output power (not in impulse) was 40W. Don't seem too much for a VTTC...
I wonder if I shouldn't buy few GU50's and enjoy 3-4 inches sparks...
I know I'm really annoyoing, but I must know everything before I'll start working :P

It's impossible to know everything :P
This tube will perform better and be easier to use than a GU50, that's for sure.
I don't think it's fragile: I've seen pictures of similar tubes cut open, and they have a planar construction with a large button cathode and a grid like a tea strainer.
In response to your other question, a staccato controller can be used with any kind of tube.

I'll buy this tube. We'll see what it got.
I know that the resistors and caps values can only be found by experimentation, but what values I should try first? I mean grid leak resistor and cap and resonance capacitor.
Huh, I wonder how long sparks I'll get with this tube. :)

I went with a 1nF grid leak capacitor and a resistor network that I could tap at 1K to 2K5 at 500R intervals. Your tank capacitor should be calculated so your primary circuit will resonate at the frequency of your secondary circuit. But you will need to decide this on the basis of a Q value that you decide for your system, I would advice you on reading up on Wards theory section, I used his calculations to build my first.

Mads -
I found the photo of your "breadboard" staccato interrupter, but no schematic. Is this one of the "standard" staccato controller designs, or did you incorporate any special features?

Thanks! Herr Zapp
I removed the polarity switch and did not use a CT transformer, I added the staccato schematic / veroboard layout to my site :)

Is the GI23B tube good for VTTC?
