I happen to have spec sheets right here:


         PRODUCT SPECIFICATION
       The Condenser Products Corp.
           2131 Broad Street
         Brooksville, FL. 34609
  Tel: (904) 796-3561  FAX: (904) 799-0221


                   Part No.  TC104-25-225

       Operating Temp.: -40C to +65C
         Storage Temp.: Same


                   MARKING

                TC104-25-225
                   .1 MFD
               45,000 V. PULSE
               CONTAINS NO PCB

This was the spec list that I purchased from, during the course
of the ordering and construction I worked with the engineers
(through the sales dept) and we agreed that certain areas such as
the +/- 10% tolerance would not apply since the intended circuit
required a very close match between the two units. These two caps
replaced a monstrous array of 14 homemade poly/AL/oil capacitors
in my large balanced Tesla tank circuit. The improvment in
circuit performance was quite marked when I switched over to the
matched pair of commercial caps. One reason is these two
capacitors eliminated nearly 25 feet of tank circuit bussing.
