[DSP-10] C24 "Gimmick" Question DSP-10

Hello All:

 

I am starting a new build and have a question.  While I know what a "Gimmick
Capacitor" is; I am not understanding how to construct the one described in
the QTH article. Typically when I have used or seen "Gimmicks" the compose
of two twisted wires which you trim with a pair of cutters to the desired
capacitance.

 

As I look through the pictures that I have been able to find of the area
around C24, I see that the pads are soldered, but I don't see how the
capacitor wire is implemented.  I was wondering if someone would be kind
enough to shoot me a picture, or maybe explain to me how I might go about
constructing this Capacitor.
