The 'tube' version of an SMPS is a vibrator.

I can see your point about using a vibrator, but there's no regulation
there. ON the other hand, high voltage for color TVs (flyback circuit)
had regulation. Since there's a precedent there, I thought it would be
fun to do the switching PS with the same tubes used in horizontal
flyback transformer drive circuits. But yeah, complexity and all of that.
