RadioBanter - Cushcraft R3 matching network part detail

Does anyone know what is exactly in the "matching network assembly"
part for the Cushcraft R3 vertical? I'm sure it's a couple of small
capacitors, but I need the values in order to build a replacement for
my antenna. Everything else on the antenna is operational (the tuning
capacitor, elements, remote control, etc.).

HI Tom,

You're in luck. I have one of the largest (if not the most complete)
collections of Cushcraft assembly manuals etc. anywhere.

According to my notes, the lowest capacitor, the one closest to
ground is around 78 pFd and the upper one is around 138 pFd. I'm sure
anything near that value will be sufficient.
