the rig. I bought a upgrade kit from Heathkit to replace it

<div align="left"><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">> I
think, 3 or 4 new transmitting mica caps which were real</span></font></div>

this</span></font></div>

offered</span></font></div>

want</span></font></div>

use that old 3 section Heathkit made "stacked" loading cap.
I</span></font></div>

know it is a poor cap to use. What do I use in it's place? Could
I</span></font></div>

maybe find a 3 section 365pf variable and put it in there? Will
