[Antennas] HF2V 80M capacitor

Mon Oct 31 22:29:41 EST 2005

Hello everyone..
Not too long ago I was asking for help with this high voltage capacitor.
Bencher did in fact answered my query and it turns out that this beauty
goes for 40ドル.00.
I have since decided to try my hand at fixing it.
This is what I did, first separated the two plates from what was left 
of the ceramic dielectric.
Then got a small bottle ( hot sauce I think) and sawed off the bottom 
and glued the plates to it.
Here are some pictures if anyone is interested. Note that I have not 
put up the antenna and so not tested yet.
The worst case scenario is to pony up 40ドル and get the real McCoy.
