Re: [TCML] looking for a nice tank capacitor...problems...

["Paul Brodie" <pbbrodie@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I would like to help and I hope I'm not violating etiquette or rules here. 
If so, I humbly apologize.

I have (48) used Cornell Debillier .15uF 2000V caps that are in good shape. 
The leads are not cut off short and I have tested all of them. They all came 
from a couple of deconstructed MMC's. If anyone is interested, I can let 
them go for less than 1/2 of new. I also have (20) .003uF 35kV metal film 
caps that are new. Contact me off list, if you are interested.
Think Positive

Bill -

Your mica capacitor is only rated at .001uF ........ unfortunately, not very
useful for small NST-powered spark-gap Tesla coil.

I think what Mike needs to do first is to determine why the capacitors in
his MMC are failing.
