I seem to remember having issues with the RCA 110K2 that made alignment tricky, particularly on the 30m Spread Band, which uses fixed caps to modify the range of the tuning cap. I seem to remember replacing some micas to get it to follow properly.

The capacitance meter I bought definitely helped to trace drifted values, even in the pF range, when used with care.

I don't hold with furniture that talks.
