RE: [TCML] capacitors

["Jim Mora" <jmora@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I have seen these beautiful caps. If I had the money, I would buy one in a
heartbeat.  They are monsters and are way over rated - simply Bullet Proof!

As an ex-marine I'm always honest.  Integrity is a way of life for me.

The Maxwell cap series will work in any pulse duty application and is 
specifically designed for nearly 100% voltage reversals, hi-Q, no internal 
corona, and other factors.  My friend, Bob Cooper, who visits me in Tucson a

few times every winter (his mom lives here) claims it's the very best design

for TCs.  I do believe him because I have been using them for over 30 years 
in coils and have yet to have a single failure.  Many of the coils run in 
museums 6 days per week with 3-4 shows per day --- and never a failure after

over 30 years.

Th;ey were originally designed for govt work but work excellent for TC use.

I'm not in WI in the winter so I can't give you a part number at this time.
