    Very good Peter, but did you check the drive for backlash. Good quality radio drives always used spragued gears to take up the backlash otherwise it would make precise tuning difficult. Just a thought.

    How to made radio receiver from spinning :)
    Fishing rod as a antenna.
    Fising coil as a vernier or variometer coil...

    Food for thought there Peter, and this has sparked an idea not anything to do with variable capacitors but for another radio related project I have in mind.
    And I am not saying.
    YET!!!

    Is this some kind of backwoods vernier dial knob?

    not sure if you used a metric or non metric size allen key Peter? eg the keys in each set are similar in size but slightly different in diameter so the equivalent size in the other key set might fit...Just a thought...
