Roger,
Yes indeed. Merely buy some felt washers, Antique Radio Supply carries them, sometimes hardware stores, or "cut your own". Then remove the load capacitor knob, put several of them on the shaft, and then replace the knob. Keep adding more and more until the desired level of friction is obtained. You can also make "washers" out of felt you can buy at fabric stores, or you can buy felt pads for lamps at the hardware stores. Please keep us posted on your progress. 73, Evan, K9SQG -----Original Message----- From: Roger Smith <kc6...@earthlink.net> To: drakelist <drakelist@zerobeat.net> Sent: Thu, Oct 24, 2013 4:39 pm Subject: [Drakelist] L-4B load capacitor I acquired the L-4B from ebay. It is in overall good condition but the load variable capacitor does not have enough shaft friction to hold the plates in position. There appears to be an adjustment screw on the back of the capacitor but there is no easy way to access the screw. Does anyone know a way to adjust the shaft friction of this capacitor without pulling the load capacitor and the fan?
