Hi Dave,

I just kept my eyes on the ebay listings
for caps like this. The ebay seller that I
got my .44 uFd, 100 kV rated units from
(surplussupplytx) has just recently been
listing some Maxwell pulse caps at fairly
reasonable opening bids ($60 to $100),
so you might check out the ebay seller's
page for this seller's listings.
