Skip to product information
This is one item of used air spaced variable capacitor recovered from a 1960's valve radio. The actual item is shown. It has been tested for shorts and the capacitance value. It is a dual capacitor with two sections of 600pF. When connected together, the total maximum capacitance is 1200pF. The minimum capacitance of each section is approximately 15pF. The turning shaft is 20mm long and is 0.25" 6.3mm diameter.
