Actually, Terry's MMC Calc gives me .351uF.  Chris and I have a design, and are
attempting to gather enough caps (912 of Terry's, or any other combo that will
work).  Did you know that there's a world-wide tantulum shortage?  I even
have the
PC board mask already laid out (I think).

I thought that it was really 13.8kV nominal?
