It is ppm/C officially, but it is the same thing, of course. -1500 is one of the worst in the series. I think they the worst ones ever made were -2000. --- End quote --- Yep, seems definitely something that can be found from cheap pocket radio. Case closed finally. Thanks everyone and especially to you ataradov and Vovk_Z for details. |

Sure, there may be uses for them. One cool feature of those small value tube capacitors is that you can "tune" them. If you wind a coil of wire around its body and solder one of the ends to a pin, you can increase the capacitance by a few pF. I've seen this done in amateur radio. |

So many simultaneus responses... TimFox thanks about note of tempco compensation, I do not work with oscillators in my electronic hobby so most of the time nanofarads are the lowest I do go. The tuning is also interesting idea, I do wonder what kind of self oscillator it would be if wound to be a toroid over capacitor with fine enamel wire. :P |
