Air variable capacitor stock # AC-8
These four gang air variable capacitors are very compact, with wide range possibilities. Each gang measures about 26 - 84 pf. The gangs can be connected individually or paralleled in groups by means of gold plated terminals on top and one on the side. Total range (paralleled) is 104 - 336 pf. We hipot tested the gangs to 800 volts throughout most of the range, except at extreme maximum and extreme minimum settings. At these two points, maximum voltage drops to 500 volts.

The case is silver plated (probably brass under the silver) and the gold plated terminals are insulated with G-10 fiberglass board. Shaft is 3/16 inch diameter. Most 1/4 inch shaft couplings can be used with 3/16 inch shafts, or if necessary, easily "shimmed" with a tiny piece of aluminum sheet or flashing. They are 4 inches long overall, X 1.375 inches X 1.375 inches. Weight is 6.5 ounces (185 grams). With two mounting tabs on shaft end.

Air variable capacitor stock # AC-2 is brand new, old stock. (May have some tarnish from storage.) These caps measure 16-67 pf, and hipot test to a maximum of 5 kv. (probably rated as 4.5 kv by the manufacturer, but we have no manufacturer's name or part number on this item. Shaft diameter is 1/4 inch, and shaft extends out the front end only, about 1.5 inches from the body.

Body measures 4.6 inches long X 2.75 inches wide X 2.6 inches tall. Overall length including shaft is 5.75 inches. Weight is 11.25 ounces or 320 grams. With 9 rotor plates and 8 stator plates.
