When it comes to low, low budget and NST, the beer bottle in a bucket 
capacitor can't be beat.  Clear Corona bottles seem the be preferred 
(although I doubt that the brown glass makes a huge difference.  5 
gallon plastic bucket, salt water, and some wire, and you're done. 
Heavy, potentially messy if it spills, but you can't beat the price 
(basically free for scrounging)
