Default Making vari-caps for ATU

So r.r.a.h, if you are still reading, what has this humble newbie already
screwed up? I know the sensitivity is going to be extremely high, but I
should be able to fix that with some simple mechanics. My old LEGO bricks
should do the trick, come to think of it...


I'm doing a random wire "semi-automatic" tuner, and also trying to make
varicaps for it. I found a eBay seller from Germany, if I remember right,
who sells ready-made air-varicap plates. I bought few dosens of them for 20
euros. I think the seller ships worldwide. I'm sure there is other producers
too...
