Oh! Oh! an easy question I can answer! Wheee!

That "MMC" stands for Multi Mini Capacitor. As the name suggests, they
are banks of tiny caps, in a series/ parallel arrangement, for use as
tank caps. Some people find them cheaper, easier, smaller, and more
reliable than other types, mainly poly caps.  A number of people have
builts these, though I'm not one of them. 
I believe Mike Hammer has done so with superb results? His page is near
the beginning of the TC-webring
