Gwyn - I have been keeping an eye on the surplus houses here:
Bull, Greenbank, Anchor with little luck - I did manage to get
some 1000pf 28kV world war II admiralty capacitors but these
were a one off. Plenty of polythene sheet and tinfoil though.

Transformers are harder to come by here as well.

As a matter of interest what were the best offers from manufacturers here?

Have fun,
