I am going to a hamlets tomorrow hoping to pick up most of the basic components for my Paraset build. I am confused over the component C3 (at least thats the reference in the drawing I am using). It is connected to pin 3 of the 6V6. The drawing looks like a wire from pin 5 is wrapped around the wire...

So I pulled some tuning capacitors from some old 40's radios.
They are 200 and 400 pF. I am looking at adding 200pF in series to make the range 30-100pF.
Any issue with this approach?

Got it. Thanks

Yes I was aware of that but why was it not simply printed as pF on the schematic? Am I missing something?

Looking at available schematics they all show the three variable capacitor to be 100 micro micro farads. Are they 100 micro farads? Or is the double micro a reference to something else?

I ave been a fan of WW2, particularly British involvement and SOE so my interest in building the Paraset is as much to replicate the orig...
