[Antennas] HF2V 80M capacitor

[Fernando Quinones N2FQ]

Hello everyone..

Not too long ago I was asking for help with this high voltage capacitor.
Bencher did in fact answered my query and it turns out that this beauty
goes for $40.00.

I have since decided to try my hand at fixing it.

This is what I did, first separated the two plates from what was left  
of the ceramic dielectric.
Then got a small bottle ( hot sauce I think) and sawed off the bottom  
and glued the plates to it.

Here are some pictures if anyone is interested. Note that I have not  
put up the antenna and so not tested yet.
The worst case scenario is to pony up $40 and get the real McCoy.
