To replace the crumbling trimmer capacitor I bought a sheet of Mica from McMaster-Carr, just could not find it smaller/cheaper anywhere else. So I got the trimmer capacitor dielectric cut out and when testing the trimmer's range I discovered that water got into the tuning capacitor's mounting bolts so I had to take it all apart to dry it out... 20 effin nuts! Glad I had some ignition wrenches as there is not a lot of room in there.
