Subject: Need Caps for Titan II Please

I own a T-T Model 416 Titan II Amp and having a problem.  It started with an 
burning arc located at the bottom of the 160 / 80 Meter coil at the junction of 
the 1/4 inch tubing coil.  It carboned the bottom of the coil form.  I removed 
the one chassis  mount and reconnected the two coils soldering the junction.  I 
have not a clue as to what caused the problem.  All functional parameters 
seemed fine.  HV without RF drive, no arc.  start applying power and buzzzzz 
and stinky smoke.  In the process of my clumsy attempt at repair I assume I 
moved two of the ceramic loading caps to where they arced to the screw post on 
the tuning variable cap resulting in another stinky arc which apparently cooked 
the caps.  When I cleared the caps by folding them back towards the PC board, I 
have no arc but no output either.  I hope the only damage is the two caps which 
are C-6 and C-8 on the Load capacitor shunt board each 320 pf.  A call to Paul 
at T-T produced
 no joy.  They do not have the cap
 s.  Therefore....  does anyone have a couple of suitable caps I might purchase 
or information as to where to go to find them?  Any additional comments would 
also be much appreciated.  Thanks for reading and your help.  (All info correct 
on QRZ)  Regards,  Bob K4BG.
