Dan -

You mentioned that you received the "specs" for the used Maxwell capacitors
now listed on eBay, and that they are perfect for Tesla coil use.

Can you share the Maxwell model numbers, maximum pulse rates, and rated shot
life for these specific capacitors? These capacitors show up from time to
time on eBay, but its very hard to find the original Maxwell spec sheets for
them.

If you've got the data that confirms that they are good for Tesla coil
service, please share it!  Perhaps Terry could archive the info at
Hot-Streamer-dot-com.

Regards,
Scott Hanson
