Piston Cap Source (a good deal) Now that I've "got mine"... I'll happily share a source of low cost Piston Capacitors with the group. Hamtronics has a clearance page at:
http://www.hamtronics.com/sale.htm A49 Piston Trimmer Capacitor. 1-11 pF trimmer suitable for adjusting oscillator freq or general vhf/uhf tuned circuits. Very stable ceramic material. .....5/$2 (or 50$10) These are great caps for the price, should you want to repair or build something new. The price is right... cheers, skipp
