Yes, we will be carrying the best caps we have found on the market, at a 
discounted rate, and specifically for Coiling use. We are hoping to make 
these the standard for the current and future generations of MMC and EMMC 
caps.


If s, when will
>they be available to order,

I'm working with CD right now to sort out the particulars, I would think we 
have a distribution agreement and stock setup within a couple weeks.



>and what will the specs be?


A version of the 942C series, we'll carry round for sure, maybe oval. They 
have axial leads, are rated for 2000VDC (about 1500AC in Tesla use and 
they're fine) and we will have them in .1 and .15uf with the distinct 
possibility of much larger sizes (keeps the counts low and trims down the 
cost of building the MMC array).


Also, has anyone seen

If you're looking for an interim solution until you can afford the MMC and 
we have them availible I would reccomend building a Geek Group Bucket Cap. 
They're simple, they work, and they're one if the cheapest caps on Earth (I 
do think the party-cup cap is cheaper though....I gotta build one of those).


Have fun!
