Why not add some 250 or 500pF doorknob caps that can be switched in
in parallel with the current capacitors?
The actual switches will take some care, but maybe some vacuum relays
could be used for an elegant solution, or knife switches with pull
cords or push rods through the outside of the case for a cheap
solution.
You are certain to give away some high-end tuning capability because
the minimum capacitance of a big air variable will probably still
present a fairly low reactance on upper HF.
