Mike...
I'm interested in getting about 10 to15 of your mmc's but do you know if
they will work well with a regular spark gap?
as opposed to rotary....
i have a 10 inch diameter coil with 35 inch winding of 22 gauge wire.....
i have a 15kv neon sign transformer .....
and plan to make a basic spark gap.......
any suggestions?

also how do i go about purchaseing your caps?
thanks,
Neil
