Polyvaricon Source Wanted

There's also this one at Mike's:
https://www.mikeselectronicparts.com/product/variable-capacitor-266pf/ It's used in this small transmitting loop: https://k1fm.us/2015/07/k1fm-mini-magnetic-loop-2-0/ and has a 3d printed version (made by someone else) here:
https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4036000 I mentioned the loop before, when I posted the ebay link for the cap I bought. But I got a request for the Thingiverse page as well, so there you go. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- 73, Gwen, NG3P

There have been several positive suggestions made for Polyvaricon sources on the GQRP reflector this month.
I'd suggest you look at their archives, or else post your need on their site.

really appreciate the offers to dig through junk boxes, etc. to try and get my the parts. I did some more searching this afternoon and found an eBay seller who had what I wanted who was in the US and didn't want me to order 50 of them! I wasn't opposed to ordering from the UK or elsewhere, I'm just not very patient once I get started and a lot of places I found indicated my order probably wouldn't have arrived before the end of August.

I bought four from this source:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Dual-Gang-AM-FM-Variable-Capacitor-266pF-X-2-and-20pF-X-2-500pF-Total/113059337104 They're your typical AM/FM radio devices. I found a small transmitting loop on Thingiverse that uses them, so I bought some. I printed up the enclosure and planetary gearing for it, but haven't had the time to fiddle with it and build the darned loop. That'll probably be a winter project. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- 73, Gwen, NG3P

Have you looked at QRP Kits - I believe they sell polyvaricon caps. 73 - W4USF John

I've followed a few links from my web searches and they lead to either caps that are not the small polyvaricons, items that are out of stock, or suppliers half way around the world. I'd rather not pay more for shipping that for the caps themselves! Tim N9PUZ
