Hi group,

     Does anyone have any info on these units, or rather any
preference as to which would be best used in an amp HV
supply...

Maxwell Cat# 30580 54uF 4.2Kv

Maxwell Cat#38697 35uF 5.1Kv

These I just could not resist at a local electronics
'junque' shop. One (30580) is labelled as being the NOS
spare for a defibrilator, and is slightly smaller than it's
lower capacitance sibling. Now I don't fancy making an
Amateur Defibrilator, but it saves space on electrolytic
strings in the PS case.

Is it advanced technology (castor oil in the 54uf one,
unspecified but non-pcb containing in the other) that makes
the size difference, or is there some other issue?
