Tuning Capacitors
I have a collection of tuning capacitors (see photo) and would appreciate any advice of whether they have any value and whether anyone wants them. Thank you.

Re: Tuning Capacitors
They don't appear to have any great value. Most of us will have similar collections of variable caps scavenged from scrap sets. However, somebody may be glad of them if you offer them FOC in the appropriate forum section.

Re: Tuning Capacitors
There appears to be at least one SLF in there so far as I can make out.

Re: Tuning Capacitors
They probably don't have huge monetary value, but some of them may be useful to people building or repairing radios. Such capacitors are very expensive to buy new, even when available; modern technology does not use them. Don't dump them; offer them here or on ebay.

Re: Tuning Capacitors
Thanks to all for the advice. I will offer them up on another section but if anyone would collect them from Fleet, Hampshire, I don't want any money for them.
