A Few Words About the Capacitors.
The door-knob capacitor used on the Butternut Verticals can be difficult to find. Over the years the
shape and size has changed depending on the source of the capacitors.
Prior to October of 2016 - the following capacitor assemblies were used:
BUT-290-05 BUT-290-06 BUT-290-07
200 pf 67 pf 67 and 200 pf with Bracket
As of October 2016 - the following capacitor assemblies are:
BUT-290-05A BUT-290-06A BUT-290-07A
200 pf 67 pf with Bracket 67 and 200 pf with Bracket
The bracket with the newer capacitors is longer that the older bracket. When upgrading to the newer
capacitors, the user will also have to slightly drill out the holes in parts D1 and D2 to fit the larger
screws used on the newer capacitors.
There is no difference in tuning the antenna with the newer capacitors.
