Air gaps lower the inductance, but stabilize it and store energy in the gap.
Working forward from this, you generally find flyback type circuits use gapped
cores, and others generally instead opt for best coupling and highest
inductance.

Wow Rich I have some panaplex and devices with them but the model you
mention is rarer it seems. I wonder if they were used in some arcade games
as I found a picture

You can see the common for digits on the right and one
For mine I used one of those cheap eBay buck converters. 5v in, 1.x v out
(adjustable). 8 iv11 tubes, running for a few years without a blip.
If you needed AC, you could always just use an H bridge and a
microcontroller pin to flip it at a suitable frequency with a smoothing cap.
I found I
You can use airgaps in transformers in some cases but this design should be
without one according to Ed.
I am using ferrite pot cores in some other designs where they are wound as
a transformer but where the Q-value is of importance and there I use an
airgap and also a trimmer through the
