I am having Ig drift problems with my Titan 425 amplifier; the drift 
is most pronounced in the low bands. I need to replace padding 
capacitors in the tank. What I need to replace are the following.

A. (C6, C7) Two 1000pf @ 5KV series 858s doorknobs

B. (C17)     One 500pf @ 5KV series 858s doorknob

C. (C18, C20) Two 300pf @ 5KV series 858s doorknobs

D. (C15)     One 400pf @ 15K Series HEC HT57 doorknob

E. ( C16) One 270pf @ 2KV disc: Ceramic?/Mica? which is about 
1"x3/32" and is glossy yellow. On the side it reads:

RMC   270    J
2KV    P     3


I would like to change "E" to an 858 series doorknob, making it a 
270pf @ 5KV series 858 doorknob.

The Drifting Ig issue is really a problem on the low bands and I'm 
concerned about damaging the tubes. If you have any of these caps in 
as new condition available, please contact me off list.

Thanks!
