[TenTec] Source for 470 pf doorknob capacitors

[Bob McGraw K4TAX]

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.
