Some camera shops will let you have the old shells of disposable cameras for free, I walked out of one shop with an entire bag full of cameras. They all have the cap, charger and a battery. Be aware that as caps go, photoflash ones aren't brilliant (high ESR, low life expectancy etc . . ) but if they're free you can't really complain Good luck!

In my experience motor run caps rated at 450V AC (not DC) are nice for SSY-1 Any electronics store should have some.
Thats really good to know! All though im rather fond of the look of the camera flash caps. This is going to be a sort of steam punk looking build :)
I'll go mining :)
THANKS!

Yeah, I've read that before. Though I'm not sure that I know of any camera shops around here.
Low life expectancy is fine. As you said they are free. In my case i dont mind paying for them though.
Ive looked in many stores this week only to find the lowest price $4.50 per camera O.O. So I thought maybe some of you guys may have some laying around.
Thank's for the info so far everyone! I cant wait to get started on making this laser fire!
P.s. I do have the original pfn and trigger. I bought this at a laser meet this year as a set. However I don't really want to use the pfn and trigger.
