I don't understand the different types of caps listed on the page
(resonant cap, static gap LTR cap, and SRSG LTR Cap). What is the one I
would use in my tesla coil?

Hi Danny,

See the basic info page at:

http://hot-streamer-dot-com/TeslaCoils/MMCInfo/mmcinfo.htm

The caps you need are in the chart at:

I think you want 19 caps to make 0.008uF

Here is were to get them:

Looks like the above page is pretty nice now!  ;-))

Cheers,

        Terry
