Need driver tuning capacitor for SB-401; sources?

[Steve G1KWF]

Hi Rob,

Having the same problem on a SB-401 I am restoring. Assume it is the 200pF
sections, used in the 80m setting, of the capacitor that are arcing and
causing the problem.

If you find a source of replacements please let us know.

Regards

Steve G1KWF
