Two (2 pcs) NOS professional variable capacitors 2pf - 10pf. Rare - Beehive - Tubular - Piston Caps!


Made back in 60s probably by Philips. They are marked "804-20012 10pF" and are very solidly constructed, with silver-plated connections and a ceramic core. Fully meshed the capacitance is ~15pF, falling to < 2pF when open. 

Rarely seen these days, these are no longer made, but at one time were used extensively in both domestic and commercial radio equipment. The 'beehive' nick-name derives from the concentric construction, reminiscent of old-style beehives. These would be useful for repairing vintage sets with authentic parts or for general radio construction for trimming filters and oscillators. 

They are called "beehive" variable capacitor and you can find them also as "tubular" or "piston" variable capacitors. Despite they are of low total capacitance (like all trimmers), they are small in size compared to their big brothers, they have high-Q, they can handle quite a lot of power and voltage (500V), and due to their construction, they are finely-tuned, since they all have an embedded mechanical reduction drive (their screw)! I have found these trimmers to be backlash-free as well, which means that as you tune back and forth you do not skip frequencies due to backlash. Whereas in a standard trimmer the usable rotation is half turn at maximum, these trimmers have several turns to achieve the same capacitance variation. Moreover, these trimmers allow a knob to be easily mounted onto them.

I'm impressed
I'm delighted with this sunscreen. It has a super light texture that absorbs quickly and does not leave a greasy feeling, which is perfect for everyday use, even under makeup. It fulfills what it promises: it does not leave white residue, something that I value very much, especially in photos or when going out in the sun. In addition, it feels quite moisturizing thanks to collagen and hyaluronic acid, leaving the skin soft and with a natural finish

Love it
This has become my everyday sunscreen and I genuinely love it. It’s lightweight, super hydrating, and doesn’t leave that greasy feeling most sunscreens do. It blends in beautifully and sits perfectly under makeup, which is a must for me. I also have sensitive skin and this hasn’t caused any irritation or breakouts at all. It just feels smooth, comfortable, and easy to wear daily. One of those products you actually look forward to using.

Don’t buy
All it did was moisturize and it’s super thing and just liquid. I highly doubt this is actually protecting my skin from the sun. Leaves no cast at all though

A solid story that flowed well.
Format: Kindle
Overall an enjoyable tale besides one character I liked being in the story and then shortly after being out of the story. But it was a fun read with great characters but so many that weren't given enough time to shine at all or be seen more. Looking forward to the next in the series.
