With some of the recent MMC questions and some newbies, I thought I would 
post a quick note about our MMC caps.

If you're looking for capacitors to build an MMC, check out the "Geek Caps":
http://www.thegeekgroup-dot-org/mmc

We have two capacitors available: a 2kV, .10uF cap, and a 2kV, .15uF 
cap.  Both are 942C series polypropylene foil capacitors manufactured by 
Cornell-Dubilier Electronics.  Both caps have an impecable service record 
in Tesla Service, and have recieved some rave reviews.  Testing performed 
by Terry Fritz, our beloved moderator, has shown these capacitors to be 
extremely robust and tolerant of Tesla coil operation.  Thousands have been 
sold, with only a few problems that have been attributed to poor design or 
construction.  To aid with that issue, two guides are availble on the 
site:  a design guide that recommends an MMC for the commonly used neon 
sign transformer sizes, and a guide with the recommended construction 
practices.  The order form and order status is available online, and 
payment can be made via paypal.

It is our hope to make the MMC accessible to all Tesla Coilers.

I would be happy to answer all questions, on list or off.

Cheers,

Mark Broker
