I was just at a local swap meet and found a big pile of "plastic"
capacitors - 
these are orange oil filled cylinders with screw terminals at each end. 
I 
bought one rated 14KV, .001 microfarads to play with. The vendor has a
fair 
amount of .25 at 5KV units.

1. are these useful for tesla coil work
2. if anyone wants some, I can get ahold of the vendor and send them to
you - 
he didn't have an E mail account - if you want me to do this, send me an
E 
mail note directly, rather than to the list, so we don't clutter up the
list.


3. I bought some 7500 v, .1 microfarad oil filled capacitors (sprague)
with 
metal cases - I figured on putting 6 in series to use with the small
coil I'm 
building - comments???  (the vendor said he had a few of these left
too).

4. I found a guy who said he had a .8 microfard 45,000 volt capacitor -
I 
didn't ask a price.
