Siltronix La- 650 air variable cap ?

[Danzik]

Hi all, I have a Siltronix LA-650 here in need of a plate tune air variable capacitor part # 074-064 and am having issues finding one, anyone know the specs on it or one that would work fine in it's place ? Thanks

The attached manual may help. I don't think there is much difference between the LA-600 and LA-650.

Here is a potential candidate replacement.

With no info about mounting method or size, it's a guess. RF Parts has other capacitors listed. Size and shape matter, so a different one may look like a better choice.

Yes, thank you Nomadradio, I see no reason why this one wouldn't work just fine, even has the threaded installation I will order it
