Hi Mark

The workmanship and attention to detail as reflected in your web page is
something to behold. A rare thing these days.
By the way, I purchased identical capacitors from the same source about a
year ago and made similar strings (14 in series for ~5nF) I paralleled them
to get various values (15nF, 20nF etc.) as needed for various coil
configurations. They took quite a beating in certain tests, but to date NONE
have failed The arrangement I used is shown at the bottom of
