We have a TenTec Titan III at PJ2T which is currently unusable because of serious arcing on 20 meters. It is so bad that the amp will only run 300 watts. The problem is clearly in the loading capacit

If the capacitor is the type that you can take apart the individual plates, you can file it smooth, and then polish it on a buffing wheel. I've done that successfully with SB-220-type tuning caps. --

Regarding the air variable and its repair or whatever. What I think is being overlooked is what caused the problem in the first place. Has that problem been resolved? If so THEN a repair can be put i

No amount of filing and sanding will completely restore that plate to its original mirror finish. Microscopic rough edges will be the first place it arcs again. Simply remove the plate and realign th

That's why I said polish it on a buffing wheel. How did they get the mirror finish in the first place? -- 73, Vic, K2VCO Fresno CA http://www.qsl.net/k2vco ___________________________________________

Carl (and others who have replied): Thanks for the suggestions! The environment at PJ2T, perched on a cliff sitting a few feet back and 37 feet above the Caribbean Sea, is less than friendly to equip

I didnt see your reply when I posted Vic. Sanding in various steps down to 2000 grit and then several stages of buffing would certainly help but its sure labor intensive. Ive restored unobtainum stai

Well, if it is the environment that is doing the cap in, and if you can dismantle the plates of the cap, you might try bonding a thin sheet of Kapton to the stator plates. Of course, this assumes the
