Actually, MFJ has lots of air variables, but they're not easy to find on their web site.  Search on "air capacitors".

With the tutelage of a friend I am putting together a mag loop but have had no 
luck finding a source of air variable capacitors up to the task.  Vacuum 
variables aren’t hard to find, but the $200 and up price tag is offputting.  I 
have seen a couple of AVCs on E-bay that looked pretty ratty; and the 
commercial types for sale new look like low-power trimmers.  Anyone know of a 
source --  or even have any they’d sell?  Specifically I would like a range of 
6 to 120 pf or more, butterfly or split stator, with plate spacing sufficient 
to take a kilovolt of RF.  And ideally with reduction gear tuning though that’s 
optional.

Thanks for any info anyone can provide . . .
