- The resistor is Ameritron part 107-4500 $2.40 The Cap is Ameritron part 270-6210-7 $13.53 From MFJ. I assume they can be found cheaper elsewhere. W0MU* * _____________________________________________

- I don't see it cheaper anywhere else. Everywhere else wants US$20 or more. As for the resistor, it's Ameritron part number 107-4500 and costs US$2.40. _______________________________________________
