Reviews
This is the sort of tuning cap used in compact protable radios, or crystal sets. It has both an AM and FM section of 140pF and 60pF respectively.
A miniature tuning capacacitor with sections for both AM and FM connected to three terminals (one common). This capacitor is ideal for lots of different Radio projects.
Supplied with a 40mm diameter moulded knob and securing screw.
It contains 2 separate capacitors which may be used singly on connected in parallel.
Good for experimentation, low cost!
