[TCML] capacitors

[huil888]

D.C.

Now let's speak honestly and accurately here  ......  you're saying that 
General Atomics (who bought out Maxwell several years ago) has designed and 
marketed a capacitor specifically for use in a Tesla oscillator?

Or are these standard "off the shelf" capacitors whose ratings and internal 
construction happen to make them suitable for use in a Tesla coil system?

By the way, what's the model number?

Regards,
Scott
