Hi Dan,

If it is the 42L4152

Allied Stock #: 591-6180
Manufacturer: GENERAL ELECTRIC CAPACITOR
Description: CAPACITORS, SNUBBER, METALLIZED POLYPROPYLENE, AXIAL, 5%
TOLERANCE, 0.15uF, 3000V

Then you can get them for the same price but only have to buy 50.  Smaller
quantities are OK to, but cost more.

1-24 $4.8800 Ea.
25-49 $4.4300 Ea.
50-249 $3.6000 Ea.
250-499 $3.2500 Ea.
500+ $3.0900 Ea.

Qty. In Stk.:206
U / M:
1 Ea.Min. Order Qty.: 1

They are at Allied Electronics.  I can't figure out how to reference the
actual page, since it is some Java stuff.  But you can go to this page;

I also use the 42L series capacitor for my coils.

http://www.tb3-dot-com/tesla/capacitors/capacitors.html

The 42L3332 (0.33 uF -at- 2000 V), which is on the list of KNOWN GOOD MMC CAPS.

But I must confess that I have had a single capacitor fail (actually
degrade) on me.  The failure was a noticeable increase in size of one
capacitor (on an end) in a string of 16.  On measurement, it was found to be
only about 0.24 uF.

I assume that because this cap was getting overvoltaged somehow, that it was
losing capacitance.  As it lost capacitance, it would get exposed to even
more overvoltage in the overall string.  An unfortunate runaway condition.

I did not notice any performance issue, but changed the capacitor out
anyway.
