Feast your eyes my friends. That is 400 micro-microfarads of variable capacitance. (400 picofarads for you sophisticated young folks.) A benefactor interested in expanding the ranks of the Color-Burst Liberation Army has stepped forward to make us an offer that is hard to resist: He will send ELIGIBLE recipients one each of these fine electronic components for the cost of postage (approximately 6 bucks in the USA).
He has specified that ELIGIBILITY is limited to those who need this part to build or complete a Michigan Mighty Mite. And I have been appointed "Grand Poobah and Chief Arbiter of Capacitor Eligibility."
So here is the deal: Send me an e-mail telling me about your planned or stalled Michigan Mighty Mite project. Include some information about your personal "Knack Story" -- tell us why you share in this strange compulsion to build a largely useless 250 mW 3.579 MHz oscillator. If I find your plans believable and your Knack Story compelling, I will recommend you for a capacitor. Purely aspirational MMM projects and obviously fabricated Knack Stories will not make the cut.
Supplies are limited, so act now!

Bill,
ReplyDeleteI did my MMM with a plastic polyvaricon but would love one of those nice butterfly caps. I already built mine however. So save those nice ones for those yet to build. :)
