That makes sense. Since you are placing an order, and I blew my last
home-rolled caps (3 layers of 0.062 poly:( with a brain fart.) I need
a new cap. I was using 14nF. with my 15/60 neon tranny. How about I
order 2 sets of caps from you? I'll go with your set of values for a
15kV 60ma neon in LTR mode.

Then there is my 7.5kV 10KVA pig -- I don't think I even want to
consider soldering that string of caps together:)
