If you had one of these what would you do with it?

Build a VFO. Build a single tube CW transmitter. Use it as a loading capacitor in a small tube amp. Build a low power tuner. Most likely I would build a small tuned loop antenna for receiving.

Oh wait................I have had several of those capacitors and did all that I mentioned and more. :D

What are you thinking about?
 
That's t thing. I don't really know. i have one, but have never tried anything with one. Just looking for the right idea, I guess.
 
Although the capacitor I have is a little bigger than the ones in most of those photos, it looks doable. Some more reading, and clean up the old from the capacitor itself, then maybe I can attempt one of those loops . . .
