Mondial,
A sharp peak (tuning the slug) is not what I'm getting with a new 3000pf, and that's why I'm wondering if I've got the wrong value. On the other hand, the trimmers do give a nice sharp peak as expected. If you assume the blank dot are black, and the photo shows it upright, I am thinking that should be a 3000pf cap. I hate all the variations they had on these micas!
By the way, I am getting a good strong signal at 455kc when I have everything where I think it should be. Like I said however, it's hard to tell using my scope where the peak is tuning the slug.
Thanks for your input!
