"deuce" - The big problem is that a capacitor robust enough to handle everything that we can throw at it tends to be quite large. They have to withstand voltage spikes, high temperatures, and have a high dv/dt rating. (That is the ability to be able to withstand many changes in voltage over a relatively short period of time.) We have found a .22 micro-farad unit that fulfills our requirements, but are still looking for a .33 unit. If you have a stock 32-41 condenser that is no good, we may be able to put one of our capacitors inside it. Could you provide me with a picture of one and some basic dimensions? We may be able to do something. (As you probably know, I'm an "8BA guy".)
