neon sign transformer confusion

[Tesluh]

after about an hour of trying to read the part number off the nst I found  hm106nd  and ordered one each of these.  they come with the terminal (same as the bertonee don used).

if anyone knows where to find those capacitors in stock I would be grateful.  everywhere I looked that offered them showed no inventory and they are 9 weeks to have them built.  Or similar construction one?  Don could have easily found others and yet he sought out those...

You could use other caps series/parallel.  Like look for 1kv and configure 4 in series for 4kv. There should be 1kv available. 4kv and up tends to be way specialized. And just like he has 2 of those caps in parallel, it shouldnt be an issue to put together your own caps. So you need 2uf total. If you can find 5uf 1kv caps, then 5 in series which brings us to 5kv for the heck of it. And another bank like that and parallel them you have 2uf. Just an example.  I would stick to poly caps as shown in the pic. They tend to have great characteristics for this stuff.

Thank you, from another close up of Dons actual board I read they were .1uf each 4kv, so .2uf is what I will shoot for.  if it doesn't work I can hunt down the exact ones.  for 5 pcs they were going to be $50 ea!
  Going to order 4 of these and try 2x2 series and parallel for .2uf@6000vdc

Anyone know what diodes those are?  I have these coming http://www.ebay.com/itm/151368531662 they are 40ns diodes.

Almost the same capacitors, but different brand: 0.1 MFD at 4000 volts
