Tuning Capacitors, Trimmers, Drives, etc.
Perhaps some forum members are unaware that a wide range of Jackson Brothers tuning capacitors, etc., are still in current production, and can be obtained from Mainline Electronics, 192 Little Glen Road, Glen Parva LE2 9TT
(+44)0116 278 0980 Furter details can be found on their website, which I found by entering 'Jackson Brothers' into Yahoo Search. Mainline are the actual manufacturers of these items, some of which are fairly expensive (e.g. a 2 x 365pf Type 'O' Tuning Capacitor-the good old fashioned all metal airspaced type -costs nearly £21 inc. VAT & Carriage, but at least it's good to know they're still available if needed. (Usual disclaimer applies here!) |

It's very good to see Mainline up and running again.
Must save up my pocket money.

I haven't seen much of this around new since I were a lad! Good to know that it is still available if required.
The slow-motion drive with the rectangular scale is the same as the one I used on my first home-built TRF shortwave set back in 1968. Rich.

I have a Jackson Brothers catalogue dating from the late 80s or early 90s. Plenty of data and drawings of their range of capacitors but I don't know how it compares to the range from Mainline.
