How do my mica trimmers look ?
#1

Sorry about upside down photo. Ipad issue.

I have two tuners from Philco 70's.
I removed one set of micas from one tuner , I, II, III.  I counted the turns from end before so.
The others are left in the other tuner IV, V VI.

III looks fairly good.  II has a crack in it. I has distortion on one end corner.

In the tuner VI has some feathering on edge, IV and V not so bad.


1.  Would all these micas probably work ?  Does a crack in one or feathering on the edge render it useless ?
2   Would you leave the other ones in the tuner alone?  The idea was to clean it though.
3.  I read someone on here used plastic with success, cool idea, as these things are not available.

THANKS !

I never take them off in the first place, just wash the whole thing together and dry.
If the mica still separates the plates then it will work.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
