For any other Australian coilers thinking about building an MMC, I can vouch
for the Arcotronics caps in the RS catalogue as well. My MMC uses 60 of the
0.047uF 1500VDC caps (cat no. 114-474), 4 strings, 15 caps per string, to
give about 0.012uF 22.5kVDC all up:

I have been running it with my 4" coil powered by two 15/30 NSTs in parallel
since Christmas, and it has proven to be a consistent performer. Just
swapping my old 0.012uF saltwater cap for the MMC has taken streamer length
from 13" to about 24". No caps have failed as of yet.
Cheers,
Stacy
