Re: [TCML] Where to get big pulse capacitors

[Nick Andrews <nicothefabulous@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I was there a few months ago when I went to LANL to check on one of my  
projects.  Did not see any Maxwells, smart or otherwise, but I got a nice  
Sangamo mica for $20.  He does have a few smaller metal can caps.  Surplus  
City on Central in Albuquerque does as well.

General Atomics makes a lot of the caps that Maxwell used to make.  I don't  
know how big they go, but you can check them out at

Also check Los Alamos Sales, also known as the Black Hole.  They have  
something like 13 acres of surplus electronics from Los Alamos and from  
other government labs--

If you can get yourself to New Mexico you can check out all the surplus  
stores there (last time I did this was 20 years ago), then go up to Los  
Alamos and spend a day wandering in open-mouthed astonishment through this  
Valhalla, or better yet Shangri-La of electronics, noting with satisfaction  
why your taxes have been so high for so long.
