Hi Gary,
              I found it on Google, sent full pasted results in private mail
because it would not line up in the page format here.
That is a .05 by the number, plastic case. 60 kV is right. Pulse service.
Average life is 10 to the 6th discharges.
Company that made it is:
CSI Capacitors, 2595 Commerce Way, Vista, CA 92083-8420, USA
phone: (760) 682-2222    fax: (760) 682-3333

           µF PART
           NUMBER MEAN LIFE ENERGY CASE
           TYPE HEIGHT C WEIGHT
           (shots) (joules) (ins) (mm) (lbs) (Kg)


     0.05 60W294 106 90 P2 4.0 102 7 3.2

Hope this helps,

I just found a promising HV cap at the MIT flea market.  The cap is lime
green, measures 8.25" x 3.75" x 4", and the manufacturer's logo looks
like "FSI" or "CSI".  There were two caps available, but one looked like
it had a poorly made seam repair with RTV, so I just took one, for $5.
The caps were marked 60W294, 0.6uF, 60kV, but measured .05uF, more in
line with the dimensions.  Both caps measured identically.   A photo may
be seen at www.laushaus.com/tesla/greencap.jpg.

I'd be grateful if anyone might be able to explain the discrepancy
between the marked value and the measured value, and might know
something about its PPS rating.

Thanks and regards, Gary Lau
