I'm looking for a panel-mount, variable capacitor for a project I'm
working on here at home. The maximum value needs to be somewhere around
50 pF of so. Trimmers won't work because I need to put a knob on it.
I know that Sprague out of NY sells one, but they have a $100 minimum order
limit, and I only need one of them. I haven't found anyone else who
sells such a critter.
At first I tried using a standard 365 pF tuner capacitor and removing some
of the plates to reduce the capacitance, but it was rather unstable.
I would much rather have the real thing.
If any one knows where I might find one, I would appreciate some help.
Thanks for listening.
