I'm after buying a 4 gang 250pf variable C, or a bit more if possible
for a LF (500kHz) ATU project, anyine got anything they might like to
sell?, or can point me in the direction of where I might get
something?

Thanks

The 4 gang x 250 pf .. may be a exspensive job these days ... !

Other way is to get a simple 250 pf or similar single or double gang
and add fixed cap's in parallel , 250 pf , 500 pf mica ,
once you find 'resonance' there is very little chage top to bottom
of the band , as long as you keep the power down ,
the tuner will work fine.

If you are looking at QRP power have a look at

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/4-x-200pF-Air-Variable-Capacitor-4-Section-2736943-555_W0QQitemZ180291623428QQihZ008QQcategoryZ4662QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

on ebay.

ebay.com is usually cheaper, quicker than ebay.co.uk and far more choice
of old and new components.

Hi Tim,

I would still say a phone call to Johnny Birket in Lincoln maybe a good
idea.

He's got lots of stuff hid around down there.

Maybe not enough to advertise but you only want 1.
But with Johnny you never know what hes got till you ask.

Very good Walt:), enjoy the O.P.
Looking forward to the MK Beer Festival at the end of the month!

BTW looks like I've got a suitable cap coming, the power of the net!
