IIRC, the mica cap across it is 130pf. Total capacitance at it's current and
forever setting is ~210pf.

Nice cap... g Next time, put a ruler on the table near the item you
are taking a picture of so viewers can get an idea on the scale/size
of the part!

They sure don't make them like that today, do the? Ceramic, gold
plated, and probably huge! g

Judging by the size of the fixed cap--and past experience--I'd bet that
it's less than 1.5".

The plates are about 1.5~1.6mm separation, according to my jeweler's loupe.
Here's a pic against a tape measure for you.
