I also like the Yish Electric Co. caps.  We buy them from a rep in 
Hawaii for approx $25 per cap if anyone needs some.  We usually buy 
100 caps per order and I will be entering another order in April.  I 
always get the 2700 pF 50 kV units which we use, 2 caps per stage, in 
Marx generators.

Steve Ward and his friend Sean have pioneered a unique inductive 
method of stage separation completely eliminating the expensive 
interstage resistors the provide isolation while the Marx generator fires.

If anyone if interested in joining me in the April bulk order, 
contact me off-list.
