[Elecraft] Freq. counter probe capacitor

[WØIFL]

I remember watching in horror as I heated that little "piece of rice" just a
little too much and it fell right off of it's leads!

A trip to Tom's house (N0SS) and I had a replacement.  Remember that, Tom???

My point is:  Be really careful, a little heat goes too far with that little
cap!  Assuming you do find it, that is..

Hi

The cap is in one of the little brown bags it is an axial lead cap a little
smaller than a grain of rice with 2 leads out of each end. look again you
may have overlooked it.

I couldn't find the 10 pF axial lead cap in the misc. bag for the freq.
counter probe.  Looking for some clarification before I proceed...is this
referring to a ceramic disc type cap or an axial lead electrolytic?  Figure
6 -14 on page 44 of the K2 manual doesn't really resemble a disc type and I
just wanted to be sure before heading off to the electronics store.

K2 #2688 powered up for the first time a couple of days ago with the first
test :)
