Therefore, to allow people who don't mind some rework to make use of them, we are selling them as is with no refunds at a significantly reduced price.\nThe primary issue is bad solder joints. The plates are held in place by the solder.\nWhen the solder joint is bad, the plates may make contact causing them to short out.\nWhile resoldering, make sure the plates stay aligned and do not make contact through the full rotation.\nIf you don't mind a little resoldering they are otherwise great air variable capacitors.\nSome of these may test ok but I am not sorting them or pre-testing them.\nThe likely bad solder spots are shown in the below photos with read arrows.\nFeel free to let me know if you have any questions \u003ca href=\"mailto:atomic29usa@gmail.com\"\u003eatomic29usa@gmail.com\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAS IS NO REFUNDS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src='https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0983\/1894\/2578\/files\/variable-capacitor-384-3.jpg\"' alt=\"Variable Capacitor Solder Joint\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade in the United States!
