[Amps] Looking for a 68pF 7KV HEC doorknob

Anyone have a bunch of doorknobs & wants to sell just one of them? My 
backup Butternut antenna had some damage from a falling branch 
hitting it, pulling the tabs out from the inside of the ceramic and 
pulled the 40M cap apart. I haven't tried to repair it & see if it 
will slide back in together properly but I should try that & see if 
it runs or smokes. Assuming it doesn't go back so nice, a nice pull 
would do the trick. Alex is not available at the time & I'd like to 
get it working somewhat soon.

I need the 67pF value & closest I have is 160pF, 300 & 500pF in 
ceramic doorknobs & too large. I do though have a Fixed vac of 105pF, 
80pF and a 50pF fixed vac. I suspect could get some partial use out 
of those  but the antenna would be detuned for sure

Let me know off list if you have something to fit or, how to 
mechanically repair a HEC cap that has the fingers & baseplate, 
pulled away from the inside  & it's not working.
