VARIABLE CAPS

20. Variable capacitor. Hammarlund. Ceramic frame stamped "MC-325-N." =
43
plates, spacing about 21 plates per inch. Offset quarter-inch shaft. =
Appears
to be brand new. $7.

21. Variable capacitor. This is an unusual one, obviously pulled from =
some
sort of (probably military) equipment. The cap has a total of 15 plates =
(8
rotor, 7 stator) with a center-mounted shaft and plates just a bit over =
1.5
inches in diameter. The shaft measures 5/8 inches in diameter. On one =
end of
the shaft is a spring-loaded split gear that likely once matched a worm
drive of some sort. One end (front?) is mounted on a metal plate with a
second small screwdriver-adjust gear, apparently for some sort of fine
tuning. The cap has ceramic frames on both ends and feels as though =
it's
turning on ball bearings. This would likely be a great VFO cap with a
suitable drive arrangement. $3

22. Variable capacitor. Hammarlund, brass plates, ceramic frame. Two
threaded mounting holes in feet, also threaded for panel mounting.
Quarter-inch centered shaft. Total of three plates, plate spacing about =
1/16
inch, plates 1.5 inches in diameter. Solder on lugs indicates it has =
been
used, otherwise in very good condition. $6.

23. Nine small air variables, the trimmer-type units with the 7/8 inch =
dia
plates and centered shafts. Plate spacing is approx 30 plates per inch. =
All
appear to have been in equipment at some point. Those in this lot have
values that I'd estimate in the 100 to 120 pf max range. Four have
quarter-inch shafts, five are screwdriver adjust. $6 for the batch.

24. Seven small air variables, same type as above. Values estimated in =
the
50 pf max range. One has long quarter inch shaft, one has short quarter =
inch
shaft. One of these has value estimated at about 70 pf. Non-shaft units =
are
screwdriver adjust. $6 for the batch.

25. The rest of the small air variables of the type above, this lot =
totals
seven units. Five uits have max values I'd estimate in the 20-40 pf =
range.
The sixth is a higher-capacitance uit that has had rotor plates removed =
to
bring its max value down into what I'd guess is the 20-30 pf range. =
These
six are screwdriver adjust. The seventh uint is a Hammarlund HF-35 that =
has
had rotor and stator plates removed to bring it down to what I'd guess =
is
the 20 pf range, this one has a quarter inch shaft. $5

26. Variable capacitor. A neat little split stator unit, ceramic frames =
on
each end, "BUD" embossed on front ceramic. Faint printing appears to =
read "8
MMFD, which looks about right for each section. Plates are about
three-quarters of an inch in diameter. Centered quarter-inch shaft. =
Each
section has two rotor and one stator plate, with a 360 degree metal =
shield
plate on the rotor arm between the sections. This cap appears to be =
new,
judging from the condition of the solder lugs. $5.

All the above variable caps as a batch $30

OTHER COMPONENTS
