[AMRadio] RCA BTA 500MX

[LEE BAHR]

I would think you would want to make C1 and C2 variable.  However, use the 
old inductor tapped down a bit for slightly lower inductance.

For my BTA 1R2,  I am in the process of installing two vacuum variables for 
these caps.  They will come out the top and then rotate 90 degrees with 90 
degree shaft couplers.
