Very True! We found a couple of 0.15uF Maxwell Caps, and finally got the
big coil running! Now I have to convert the rotary to synchronous and I'll
be very happy! :-)

True... Well, Phil, perhaps talk directly to transformer manufacturers...
that's about the best I could suggest here...
Talking to power stations will probably yield next to nothing...dead ones
perhaps...
I spoke recently to a small xformer manufacturer mob in Brisi, they were
happy to build on for me, or sell off the shelf! Around $1500-$2500 for
10KVA jobs.
Well, hope this helps...
Catchya!
