I don’t understand your point?

Yes, I can read the dial and see what the capacitor is showing....

Unlike some amps, the Centurion cap dials at 10, indicate maximum
capacitance; not maximum loading (in the case of the load cap).

Well the amp is back together. 40 meters will not load without the
additional loading capacitance! The tank must not be right! Oh, one thing
I did notice is that between 10 and 15 meters, you don’t need to move the
tune and load knobs to be resonate on both bands! I bet the 10 and 15 meter
Q is pretty high.

So I'll go back to the Ten-Tec original setup. I'll also add more
capacitance for 160 meters other than what's there. It does tune fine, but
the load cap is almost maxed out at 1900 KHz.

Thanks for all the info!
