Default Re: Variable Capacitor - Scratchy

Difficult to see, but are the rotating vanes central in the static vanes?
If they are out, check there is no end float in the shaft first. Pull / push the shaft back and forth, set off of course.
Carefully check the grounding springs on the rotor shaft are clean and still have good pressure against the shaft.
