I have a Maxwell cap rated at 0.03uF / 30,000V for my 15/60 powered 
coil.  I would like to get total capacitance down to around 0.02uF. 
My question is can this be done by adding a MMC string in series with 
the Maxwell - i.e., can you mix different types of caps to get the 
desired value?  Or should I just build a complete MMC to 0.02uF & 
replace the Maxwell entirely?
