[TCML] Big Maxwell: was: Apology --

[David Rieben]

Hi DC,

Well, I would love to get my hands on that large Maxwell
but I fear my availability of funds, or lack thereof, would
likely be a substantial obstacle for me, especially at this
time of year with Christmas and everything. I have already
located a source for a couple of unused 0.1 uFd, 25 kV(AC)
rated Plastic Capacitors pulse caps from a fellow list member
that was in a less challenging price range for me. Maybe you
would be willing to give me a price break on the big Maxwell
since it was probably one of the primary caps for Big Bruiser?
Maybe we can negotiate off-list? ;^)
