Re: [TCML] Need capacitors
Those snubber caps don't look anything like the snubbers i used on my coil many years ago.
The ones that I had looked like a motor run cap with 1" or so ceramic "bushings". 

They worked very well until they started exploding.....

  I did see some similar GTO snubber film caps made by Vishay on ebay recently.  Haven't seen any of the Eurofarad ones for quite some time now.

These are high-current (152 Amps RMS at 580 Volts RMS) self-healing

discussion about this particular cap can be found here on the 4hv list:

Whatever for? Those are starting motor caps and surely would never work as a capacitor string for the primary of a Tesla coil.

Does anyone on the list have any SP2550-2 Eurofarad 3.75 uF 580V RMS caps that they are not using?  If so I need about 10 of them.

Thanks
