Jim -
That is the only information Ten Tec service gave me. Here is the data
sheet -

I see no reference to ESR. Ten Tec didn't say anything about ESR. How
would I tell the ESR of the capacitor? How would I find the ESR of the
ones used by Ten Tec? What would you do?

I would not be at all confident that the caps you found will work.
There is the issue of equivalent series resistance -- ESR -- which
dissipates power if the cap is carrying current, which it certainly
is. I bought a bunch of HV caps without knowing this spec for them,
and lived to regret it. Luckily they were in an antenna matching
network where it was easy to see them smoking. :)
