Congratulations!

Although lately MMC's seem to become more popular I still think these caps
are great. However, you never look inside these babys and you'll never know
what  happened to them in the past :-(.....but the type of cap is quite
common with TC's I have seen so far. With a NST they are very unlikely to
ever fail because the voltage is fairly overrated, although that's not
guaranteed....a conservatice set safety gap is surely a good idea with these
caps .

Good luck.

Greetings

Christoph
