Have no idea if the seller is good or not, just an idea.

Also, you might want to call MFJ.
I believe the traps on the Hy-Gain and Cushcraft three element beams are the
same size.
You could call and ask to be sure.
If so, I was able to buy a complete set for a real old TH-66DX a few years
ago with no problems.
Worth a phone call anyway.

Good luck finding the trap caps.

I have the same problem. I wonder how bad I really need them. They
have been missing quite a while and $24 seems a little pricey for
bottle caps.

Try he

Prices are I think $CDN so you would get a bit of a discount as well,
could pay for the shipping :-)

Hope it helps
