Variable caps

[kirk]

Graphite is weird stuff. It is a lubricant until particle size gets below a
critical size. Then it becomes an abrasive. I don't know if this size
reduction happens in use.

The stuff I get is electrically conductive. Cost about  8 dollars a tube
as I remember. It is called "GC Conductive Grease and Anti-Oxidant".  It
contains lithium grease and graphite.  Stock number is 19-820. They also
use the stuff  when clamping alum wire together.

Have used it many times to get the "wabble" out of SB and HW - LMO's.
(when I can get to the ver. cap).hihi
