An early test, checking out some capacitors. The small caps are 0.1uF, 400V Cornell-Dubilier DME's: small and very cheap. 200 volts peak to peak is 71V RMS, and I think that tank resonated around 50kHz, so each one had 2.2A through it.

The puff of smoke is coming from a hole which was melted in the capacitor as it failed.

Polypropylene capacitors are definitely a better bet!
