Perhaps, but then will he still be able to load it up as he says he  does?  
If it was shorted, then his variable load cap would be shorted to  ground and 
he would probably not experience and change in loading due to it  being shorted 
through the padder cap.  As he explains it, it seems as  though it may be 
opened.  Either way, the problem could be with the padder  cap.
