Hi,
   I recently discovered a gold mine of large caps(about 20 of them) that 
have been stored away in the basement of a surplus electronics store here in 
Denver.   The lady who runs the store told me her dad(who used to run it)  
kept these separated from the other stock for coiling enthusiasts and claims 
they are great for this purpose.  At the moment, I cannot personally 
guarantee their usefulness for TC purposes but they certainly look to be good 
for it.  I once wrote to the list with the specs to see if anyone could help 
me identify them, but no one replied, so I am still not sure.  I will try to 
dig them up again for you if you are interested.  
    Physically, they are in rectangular cans about 8 inches by 10 inches and 
about 3-4 inches thick and have large ceramic feed-through bushings for the 
terminals.  I had planned to go back and bring a 15kV neon and my capacitance 
meter to get the capacitance rating and at least be sure they could withstand 
a NST output, but haven't had time(or motivation?) to get back there.   
    If you don't find what you are looking for and would like for me to go 
check them out further, let me know.
