I still have a few bags of these panasonic ECQ-E capacitors, rated 1250 VDC,
marked 224K which I believe is 0.22 microfarads.  I got them to put in
series parallel for a tesla capacitor, but I'm not getting around to doing
it.  There was some debate before as to whether the dielectric was the
proper thing for tesla use or not - I suspect that a capacitor made from
these in series/parallel and submerged in oil would be fine for modest power
levels, but of course I haven't proven that myself.

These were originally used in a snubber circuit on an inverter, running
600VAC - if not used as the tank capacitor, they would certainly be
excellent for RF filtering and bypass use across the mains.

I had figured on putting 20 in series to make 30KV, and then parallelling
them up to the desired capacitance - so one bag of 100 ought to get you
close to a useful value for a NST type coil.

I am asking $16.00 per bag of 100 capacitors (plus a few dollars shipping),
or some larger  price if you want just a few
