I am trying to find a source for the carrier trimmer capacitors used in this rig. The CW carrier trimmer is 10 pf and the LSB and USB carrier trimmers are 20 pf. All three can be adjusted without removing the cover. With age they cause carrier stability issues. Designation in the Heath model are TC2001, TC2002, and TC2003. Currently my CW trimmer is healthy, but best replace all three if possible. Thank you & Happy New Year! Terry - N4IYB
