[BC] Looking for Capacitors

Which LPB transmitter?
The tube rigs were on-channel, but the SS rigs use a carrier x6
crystal. In either case, the TX itself should have been built for the
upper third of the band; there are filters in the output to block
harmonics and sub-harmonics.
My 25B got butchered by the previous owner because he wanted the 1280
kHz (640 fundamental) output as well - not realizing he'd also be
getting 2520, etc., as well. Ooops! But now that I've rebuilt the tank
and at least a couple of orders of LPF, she'll crank about 0.8A into a
50 J0 ohm load; 375 VDC on the plate and about 125 mA Ip, according to
the meter... Or just over 30 watts. The SS transmitter I have is also
low-band (730 kHz)
Hmm Lemme think - I also have a couple of RS tx's; they use a X4
crystal... Nope. Thought I remembered that some of the x6 LPBs crossed
with some of the x4 RS XTALS; they do, but not at 1530....
Anyway, the XTAL you need for a SS LPB is 1530 x 6, or 9180 kHz. The
tube rigs, remember, are on-channel.
Sorry I can't help more...
