Wanted: Capacitor

Apologies for intruding, but I'm running out of places to look.

I have a dead monitor. The repair guy's had it for two months now,
waiting for a part. I'm told it's in need of a replacement for a 7.5
nanofarad, 2Kv capacitor. No idea where I should look, thought someone
here might.

Thanks in advance for any useful suggestions.

Try this url:

You can put two 15 nF, 1.6kV caps in series to
end up with 7.5 nF at 3.2kV. The url claims to
have all sizes from .001 uF (1 nF) to .047 uF
at 1600 volts. And it shows the price for
a .015 uF 1600 volt disc ceramic as 79 cents.

You're a life saver! (I hope)... I'll give 'em a call tomorrow, and
they'll come up with some good reason why I need to wait another two
months...

Incidentally, it just struck me... I have a web site from which I sell
conductive thread. I wanted to provide it to the fencing community
(with sharp sticks held in hand, not stuck in ground), but I'm getting
queries from all kinds of directions. Would anyone in this world have
a use for such stuff? This is not a new subterfuginous approach to
spamming, just a passing thought...

Subterfuginous !! What a word - I never came across it before!
Clearly not spam - and you should post the url. Someone here
might have a use for it. I'd like to see the web site.

Six obscure hits on Google. I'd like to see his dictionary collection! On
other hand being blunt can also make a point.

Too many years in the company of the wrong kinds of books. Makes one
tend a little towards the sesquipedalian ;-)

Ya, the URL. Take a shufti at http://members.shaw.ca/ubik/thread/. I
started selling it for the fencing crowd, as a way to repair
electrical vests; but I'm getting more enquiries and orders from
electronics folks than anyone else these days. And art schools, and
clothing designers, and boat builders(?) and pizza-hot-box makers (!)
and even NASA (?!?!) My cheapo multimeter tells me - if I'm reading it
correctly - that its resistance is around 40 or 50 ohms over a metre
length. Anyway, take a look if you think you might have a use for it.
Oh, I have fabric too....

I can see it now! Antistatic underwear for production workers. ;-)

You may laugh... I searched all over for fabric - fencing vests need
to be conductive in order to register touches to valid target areas -
and came across one site - lessemf.com - that sells a whole range of
the stuff. Stuff that's good for incorporating into bedding and
curtains, stuff (Flectron) for lining your entire house, stuff that
would probably make great tin-foil helmets for those concerned over
alien mind control... There are some very strange people out there.
The thread that I'm retailing is used by the US military for "severe
antistatic applications", so I'm told. But Bekaert makes 100%
stainless steel threads and fabrics that are used in the glass-making
industry, don't ask me for what. I found a conductive vinyl, too, from
a company that makes clean room furniture. Not very conductive,
though. Enough to dissipate static, I guess.

For the inmates of this particular asylum, there's an article titled
"E-broidery: Design and fabrication of textile-based computing" that
may prove of interest at
http://www.research.ibm.com/journal/sj/393/part3/post.html Check it
out if you feel like exploring possibilities.

I wasn't making fun of the conductive fabric, just the reaction when
it hits a production facility, and people find out they have to use it.

Thanks for posting the url! Nice site - you've got me
thinking about what I can use that thread for.
