[Hammarlund] HQ-170 Antenna Trimmer Capacitor

[Kim Elmore]

I have an HQ-170 that my Dad (W5JHJ, SK 2007) purchased new in May 1959. 
It is the receive half of the first station I ever used as a Novice in 
1970 -- the other half is a WRL Globe Champion Model 350.

I'm in need of the 3-25 pF antenna trimmer capacitor. The bushing in the 
one that's in there has worn just enough that the side load on the shaft 
is enough to pull the rotor plates enough out of alignment to cause them 
to short against the stator plates.  Does anyone have a spare or a 
replacement source?

73 & HNY,

Kim N5OP
