The problem was "their" supplier. They only wanted 630 volt and when the shipment came and they were all smaller. No one thought to ask, they "assumed" like I did that this was new technology at work. I have put one on my heathkit and left it there with 630 volts applied to it for about 20 minutes and the caps in question actually held. Once I really paid attention to them I did notice that they will leak a little unless you back down the voltage.
