Re: Honbay trimmers; I took one for the team

Thanks Dave, I assume the green paint on the Jameco trimmers is a color code? On AliExpress I saw ceramic trimmers very similar to the Jameco units at $1.00 for qty 5 with free shipping and several values were listed.? Almost sounds too good to be true.? Do a search on AliExpress for "ceramic trimmer capacitors" and they should pop up. They look decent in the pictures. Jim WB4ILP?

The Jameco trimmers are available on Amazon also.? 98? and free shipping if you have Amazon Prime.
BTW, are the Jameco trimmers newly manufactured or NOS?

Pretty sure these are newly manufactured trimcaps Jim. Man, they are tiny! I got these from Amazon, thanks to your suggestion - and thank you to William K6WHP for the original mention. I don't know if these are representative, but they do seem a bit stiff. They're not quite as easy to turn as I'd hoped they would be. In light of that, I don't think I dislike the little brown things as much as I did. Some of my little brown 60pF caps are erratic in their rotation, while others turn smoothly. These are cool though. They'll get used.
