[AMPS] Another doorknob question:

[Vic Rosenthal]

I have a capacitor marked only 'Sprague 1000MMFD6KVDC'.  It's about 1" (2.5cm)
diameter and 5/8" (1.56cm) thick.  Is this a 'TV doorknob'?  I had planned to
use it for a blocking capacitor for my 1500-watt output (3KV on plate) amp. 
Comments?

I also have some Centralab type 850s 5KV doorknob capacitors that I was
intending to use for padding the tune and load C on 160 and 80 meters.  Are
these appropriate?
