I had given thought to taking the same approach as I observe the same
problem. Now with your pictures it looks like a fairly easy job.
Thanks

Subject: [TenTec] 238 Tuner Mod
I few months back, I modified my TT 238 tuner by changing out the disc
ceramic caps with surplus Soviet military doorknob caps, which dramatically
improves the power handling capability on 160 and 80 meters. Heating used
to cause the SWR to 'drift', even at 100 Watts in some situations on 160.
The mod worked well, and if anyone is interested, I have all the details
and pictures on my website at www.n6ie.com.
