Check for those on E-Bay.  Usually Russian made.   I've replaced many of 
those drifting / heating disk ceramics.    Don't forget to replace the 
pair of series 50 pf capacitors on the output at the Antenna switch.   
For that I used a 30 pf doorknob.

Can anyone recommend a good source for the 470 pf doorknob capacitors that can 
replace the switched-in ceramic disc caps in the Ten Tec 229B antenna tuner? 
After thinking about it for a while, I've decided that I would like to make 
that mod on some rainy day this fall or winter.
After all, while a flux capacitor is desirable in a time machine DeLorean, a 
fluctuating capacitor in an antenna tuner is annoying. :-)
Thanks and 73,
