HSC has 50-350 miniature variable capacitors for 0.35 ea.  Who can get up
there and grab a handful?  We need two per antenna tuner.  Parts needed:

qty
(2) miniature variable capacitors 250-400pf max.
(1) T-80-2 ferrite core.  (we can scrounge wire)
(1) multi-position rotary switch.  10 ideal,  fewer positions ok.

SWR Power indicator:
(1) FT-37-61 or FT-50-61 ferrite core.
(1) LED (preferably red, clear lens)
(3) 50 ohm 1/2w resistors
(1) DPDT switch, miniature

(1) box, preferably plastic (metal is lossy).  I have a few that might work.
(3) knobs for capacitors and switch (that fit)
(2) connectors

We can make from scrap metal.  Don't worry 'bout them.

Have a good Saturday.  We are sure to continue with the project.  Is there a
better time, perhaps some evening?
