Ed,

I haven't "seen" any this big either, but I think Surplus
Sales of Nebraska does carry mica transmitter caps
in values up to .2 uFd @ 140 kV and about 44" long
x 18" in diameter. Would have to weigh hundreds of
pounds and the cost is $4900 each!

Check out the listing at the very bottom of the page.
