I forget the name off hand but if you check out (wima-dot-com) and look for
their distrib
in (Toronto / Miss)  they carry the hard to find MMCs needed for TC - I
know this is
not what you are asking for but my rationale is they are one of the very,
few in (TO)
that carries this type of HV cap, then most likely they can assist you.  Not to
mention CA $ (that may be bad)? Good Luck..You will need the exact specs by
faxi in
order for them to process.

Cheers
