Title: Cap contest...cap contest...cap contest

Definitely not CQ contest.

There has to be bigger ones out there.

The monster worm drive Cardwell weighs over forty pounds, is cast brass. Has 1/4" plates @ 1" spacing.

The G5 is .0005 @ 85kV.

The 866A is for perspective. Or grid bias with these....

It sort of reminds me of when someone buys a large pickup truck and another party claims they are compensating. In the case of capacitors it would be a situation where matching is the goal.
