Gary and all,
The mention of the Fair Radio 0.1 uF -at- 100 kV capacitors is of historical 
interest.
I had one of those things. It blew its guts out all over my bench when it 
should have
been just loafing along with a 15 / 60 NST. The case cracked open and 
black-sooted
mineral oil poured out. It was made of mylar - aluminum foil. I wonder if 
anyone has 
any experience with the 0.4 uF for $350?
Buyer beware.
