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.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Excellent value for money and very efficient charging!" I bought this pack of 2 MagSafe chargers from TNDAJI and I couldn't be more satisfied. I love that it includes USB-C to USB-A adapters. This allows you to use them with both modern and traditional charging cubes, which is a great detail. The magnet adheres perfectly to my iPhone and does not release easily, allowing me to continue using the phone while charging. The blue light ring gives it a modern and elegant touch, in addition to helping to locate the charger easily in the dark without being annoying. The 15W works wonderfully. Charge my AirPods and phone quite fast for a wireless connection, and I haven't noticed excessive heating. For the price of an original one, you get two high-quality chargers with their adapters. Super recommended to have one in the office and another on the bedside table!"

Great MagSafe charger set.
Great MagSafe charger set. The magnetic alignment is strong and keeps my iPhone securely in place without slipping. It charges quickly as described, especially with a proper PD adapter, and both my iPhone and AirPods work perfectly with it. I also like the soft LED light that doesn’t disturb sleep and the fact that it stays cool and feels safe during use. Having two chargers in the pack is very convenient. Overall, excellent value and very reliable—definitely 5 stars.

Great Value and Convenient Charging Set
I’m really happy with this MagSafe Charger 2 Pack! The chargers are lightweight, easy to use, and connect perfectly to my phone with a strong magnetic hold. Charging is fast and reliable, and having two chargers is super convenient for home and travel. The cables feel durable and the overall quality is great for the price. Definitely a good purchase if you want an affordable alternative to expensive brand-name chargers. Highly recommend!

Not fast but steady
Not a fast charger but that’s not what I wanted - no over hearing experienced and using for overnight is no issue. With proper power brick it is very serviceable for topping off my 17pro and getting 2 for so cheap makes it a win for me
