I rounded and polished the capacitor plates so this should make a more uniform electric field than rough plates. The mills have been taken when I was in the shop so I was not able to do the last bit of machining on the capacitor. If the mills are available I should finish today or this weekend.
I have not found anything about our power supply in my searching online but I will try to get into contact with someone in the lab where we got it to see if they have any info about it.
