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 . . .
