Rich, I just got a list of tesla coil capacitor from Condensor 
Products in Florida.  I am considering using a 20,000Vrms 0.01uF w/my 
15kV 60mA neon.  I have seen several people talking about ordering 
from this company and I just wanted to know you opinion about their 
products.  
	I recently called Plastic Capacitors in Chicago after reading 
a paper written by William Meskan at Plasti Cap.  I called and asked 
for him and promptly recieved his desk.  He gave me all the 
information that I requested and offered me a tour of the facility. 
Since I only live 10 minutes from Plasti Cap.  I am going to take him 
up on his offer.  Plastic Caps offered me a 15kVrms 0.01 for $160 
while Condensor Prod. offers a 20Kvrms 0.01 for $160  

	Pending what I hear from you and others I plan on ordering the 
20kV from Cond. Prod. to ensure longer life for my cap.  The only 
downfall I see about ordering form Plasti Caps is the 6-8 week lead 
time. Oh, well I am sure it will be worth the wait.  Oh, One more 
question if I may.

	What type of wire did you use for the interconnects in the 
tesla circuit.  For example the wire supplying power from the Neon to 
the safety circuit and to the capcitor should be of what type.  And 
also the wire from the capacitor to the primary coil should be of what 
type.  I don't believe I have seen this spec'd anywhere so I would 
appreciate your help.
