				 Making vari-caps for ATU 
 
			
			Ten Tec in USA offers a variable capacitor kit, max C is 500pf @ ~5kv.
 Cost is about $80 USD.  Takes about a hour to assemble.  I use them in
 a 1.5kw ATU and they work fine.  Kit #1207.
 
 If you get all the parts, cut them up, and assemble the whole thing,
 homebrew, makes the $80 price tag seem reasonable.  I could see you
 spending more than half on just materials.
 
 Good Luck,
 Gary N4AST
