I always liked the Muntz edition: Twirled enamel wires. Twirl some more
-> more pF. Untwirl -> less pF. You got about a dozen shots at it, then ... ping ... it broke off.

Nice. 330 pF is a bit on the small side for a feedthrough, though--my
15 nF ones are enough to nuke anything above about 1 MHz.Cheers

I just got 100 ea of 3300pF, $13, also from Lithuania.
ebay is great.

1 Mhz is still DC, to some people. ;-)
Hittite makes some absorptive analog mux's, HMC183 series, where the data sheet says at the very top
GaAS MMIC SP8T SWITCH NON-REFLECTIVE DC TO 2.0 GHz
Their definition of DC here is about 100 MHz.
That bit me pretty bad once. Weird folks, Hittite.

I worked on some 11 GHz STL equipment over 25 years ago where 330 pF would have been overkill. :)
I don't remember what Microdyne used, but early receivers had over a hundred. The synthesizer had 24 alone.
