I used a string or two on an OBIT coil once... they took about 1/2 hr of
runtime total (2 strings of 3 in series). They worked great until they
exploded :oD
I'd personally use a 3x3 bank if I were you... that way the current is
divided among a greater number of caps. Obviously, 23mA was too much for my
two strings....
