I am very interested!
Are you refering to the capacitors
advertized in DC Cox's catalog
that are polypropylene dielectric with
silicone oil, extended soldered foil, and
will "arc over the insulator
before internally arcing over"?
He had some that were rated for 60kV
ac.  Would be interested in 2 (0.01uF
-at- 60kV with single bushing).
Can Plastic Caps. certify them
with a 1 hour cw. 300khz induction heater
burn in and insulator arc over
overvoltage test??????

Thanks Chuck!
Sounds like we should plan to set something up after March, and tie it
in with a visit to see & examine the museum coils. Again, thanks for all
of the information you've gathered on the museum coils!! Its a shame Cox
isn't on Chip's list...

FWIW, David Flinn (one of our Chicgo area coilers) says that the
president of Plastic Caps is interested in potentially establishing a
limited inventory of "off the shelf" standard value TC caps, and is
willing to stock limited quantities. This would save the 6-week
build-time from CP. They'll also derate and warranty their caps like
Condensor Products. Plastic Caps is the outfit Cox apparently uses for
his reliable museum systems (and I think these are also the ones he's
advertising in the TCBA). It'd be nice having a "local" source for these
puppies if they're priced competitively and warranted the same as CP!

Safe coilin' to you, Chuck, and Happy New Year!
