What's the capacitance of variable capacitors found in clock-radios ?
I want to make a pizza-box antena and can't find 10-365pF.

Thank you.


It's not at all critical. Use whatever you have. All it will affect is the
tuning range.

Great answer- since all it effects is the tuning range, why not leave it out
entirely?

As others have commented, the "standard" capacity in older AM radios is
365pF and will be fine. Antique Electronic Supply sells them also.
