All Electronics sells 1000 pF 10KV ceramic disk caps for $1 each.  A couple
in series on each side of the NST should do it.

     Tesla folks,
     
     I am trying to build an rc protection network for my coil before I run 
     it for the first time.  The source I had lined up for doorknob bypass 
     caps has fallen through.  I've been thrashing around in the Pupman 
     archive and on the search engines and having no luck.  This protection 
     network is my last step before first light!!!
     
     would the MMC poly caps be appropriate for this application? Does 
     anyone have another source I could go to that would be better?  I had 
     expected to use two caps to ground of around 500pf each to ground,  
     with an 1100 ohm 113w resistor on each leg.  I'd really rather not 
     roll my own if it's at all possible.
     
     thanks,
     
     paul
