Re: 0.25 MFD 30 kV capacitor on eBay for TC use.

Gary,

Maybe you could try listing it under "high voltage capactior" only
w/out the mentioning the word "Tesla"? Dr. Resonance confirmed
my suspiscions that this was a filter duty type cap. However, I'm
not sure why ebay would single you out as this is certainly not the
only item listed on ebay under the title of "tesla" that would be of
little or no use in an actual Tesla coil circuit. Probably only around
10% to 25% of the stuff listed on ebay under the "tesla" subject
would really be of any practical use for a Tesla coil circuit (not in-
cluding item effects in regards to the rock group Tesla)  :^))
Anyway, I doubt if the "big whigs" of ebay would know anymore
about Tesla coils than they do about Vietnamese poetry,
so I don't see how they could judge that it's not a suitable capaci-
tor for Tesla primary circuit application! Only thing I can figure
is maybe someone complained to ebay that this cap was misre-
presented.
