 The Cornell Dubilier DPPM20D1K from Mouser for 20M and if the "coupling"
cap is bad replace with the CDV16FF241J03...240pf, this CDV16 series is RF
rated! Also at Mouser.

My buddy W7WW in Yuma got a list of capacitors from ICE after he smoked 10
meters. I just talked to him on the phone. He says, for 20 meters:

resonating: 2 - 940pf each
coupling: 240pf

As I remember, it is a tee arrangement with the "resonating"
caps on the left and right, going to ground, and the "coupling" caps in the
middle, in series with the RF path.

You can get these caps from Mouser. From our experience, these caps do a
radical change in value, rather than burning up. You might want to get
"snubber" caps. They are more durable.  Mouser has those, too.
