Thanks, Dave. One thing that was suggested to me to keep in mind was the
voltages that the plate cap may ring up too...  ...is this really a
problem in a VTTC? The same source also said that i could replace the
micas with low-loss PP or PE caps. That would seem to me to be alright,
as they work for tank caps in conventional coils! 
Reducing the voltage strength and using PE/PP (MMC) would further reduce
the cost of making a VTTC, so I hope this is all true!
