[ARC5] Transmitter Variable Capacitor Ball Bearings

[seanbart at fidnet.com]

I have a few of the variable capacitors in the SCR-274N series transmitters that had lost some or all of their ball bearings.  I measured one to be 0.060" in diameter and found some 1.5mm chrome steel ball bearings on Amazon.  I refilled the race on one capacitor last night and these work out quite well.  I bought the 1000 piece pack but they are also available in a pack of 250 pieces.
