Title: Help to indentify air variable caps.
Post by: xe1yzy on March 03, 2005, 07:00:07 PM
Hi to all

Does anybody knows the value of the following  air variable caps?

Hammarlund APC-50B
"   "      "    "  MC250M
JOHNSON      160-104.

They comes in a small 6146B CW transmitter circuit in the 1973 ARRL handbook, but dont say nothing about the value.

Thanks in advance !

From a 1947 Handbook, the APC-50 is a 50mmf. the "B" designation wasn't shown.

The MC250M shows 260 mmf.

Didn't find the Johnson
