I have been to many ham fests here in California most of the time there is
at least one guy there selling hv stuff mostly for tube amps some of which
is very well suited for tc work. the one piece of advice I can give you is
not to look at the stuff on the front tables and go straight to the boxes on
the side or even better the back of the truck the stuff game in some of the
best stuff I have found was stuff the seller didn't even bother to bring out
of the truck.

happy hunting.

If you're not familiar with vacuum-variable caps (i.e. Jennings) and
the mechanical counters that go with them, it's worth finding out
what they look like, voltage ratings, etc, if you're talking serious
variable, hi-voltage caps. You will probably find the listed items,
except possibly tesla-specific chokes, I would think. But you never
know!
