OK so, I have a solid state tesla coil kit coming, and I was told I could add another capacitor to get some longer sparks from it fine. So I went to order some more caps, but somehow ended up with 9 on my invoice!

I can't really be bothered trying to get them to remove a few from my order, and they have probably already been shipped.

Anyways, would these be any good for something like a simple NST based SGTC?

At a company I used to work for, we ordered 20 power transistors for a prototype, but somehow ended up with 20 packs of 50 transistors.

The pile of BD437s and BD438s actually lasted longer than the company, which went bust at the end of the telecoms boom.

Yes, you can use the capacitors for another Tesla coil.

When I was in the military I ordered 20 feet of aircraft wire for a repair. It was out of stock and went on backorder. A week or two later a flatbed semi pulled up in front of our hanger. He had 20 skids full of wire for us on the flaybed. LOL. He was told to take it back as no one would sign for that much wire. Turned out someone in purchasing had the unit of isue wrong, instead of "feet" that entered 'crate", "skid" or soemthing like that.
