[Amps] Need SB-221 tuning cap (26-164)

[Pete Smith]

Charlie, be careful what you wish for.  Several knowledgeable people have 
asserted that the design change to a stouter tuning capacitor simply made 
the bandswitch the most likely arc location, and that's a lot harder to 
replace.

You might try contacting KM1H - I believe Carl has done a lot of SB-220 6M 
conversions, which might leave him with a few original SB-220 (or 221) 
capacitors in the junque box.
