If the tank is resonating at "almost" unmeshed and there are two resonance
points as you continue the rotation youre fine, leave it alone.

Thanks, both. Had I given this more than passing thought at 11 PM, the
answer would have obvious!
Next chance I have, I'll see if I can spread out the turns a bit. I can't
get the cover off where it sits and It's a heavy beast so not much fun to
move around.

Subject: [Amps] AL-1200 Tuning Capacitor Range
I have an AL-1200 that works very well using the 3CX1200A7 tube, but at
the bottom end of 15 m the plate tune capacitor needs to be almost
completely unmeshed for proper tuning. The load control is not near
either extreme. I'm not completely convinced the PA is properly tuned; I
figure this one has just a wee bit more stray capacitance. Would moving
the 15 m tap one turn help this? If so, which way should I go: remove a
turn or add a turn of inductance?
