 Those who remember me from the other site may remember that I save nice vacuum capacitors from scrap that would work well for Magloops.

I've just had another couple come into my possession that should be available once I've been able to build something to test for vacuum leakage on them.

 I also have 10kV 1mA bricks that we save from scrap that I can use for this. We have rather a lot of them and we don't know what to do with them all. Got some 20kV ones too. They scare me more. Arc fault testing was spicy.

 Actually, what voltage rating do people need? These are 9kV working, 15kV peak. They may work for some magloop designs even if the vacuum has popped. I have plenty of those.

Been a while since I've looked at it all.
