Call the manufacturer to be sure they are rated for pulse duty service.  DC
filter caps don't work well in Tesla oscillators and are not designed for
rapid voltage reversals which slowly damage them.  If you need the
manufacturers tel, just go to your local library and do some serious
research in the Thomas Register which contains the address and phone
numbers of all the serious manufacturers in the US.

    In a Fair Radio Sales flyer I got they had .01湩 100Kvdc caps from
goverment surplus. Could these be used for tesla service like rating them
for 50Kvac? They are 5" X 10" X 2.5" and have 1" #12 studs on either end.
