Ken -
My 1990 Titan came with the teflon plates inbetween the variable cap metal
plates.
I think they were to increase the capacitor's capacitance as teflon does
have a
dielectric constant which increases capacity. Mica does the same but is
fragile
and costly.
Hope this is some help.

I have seen Titan 425 amplifiers both with and without plastic spacers
between the plates of the loading capacitor. I have already searched the
archives and not found very much info on this. When did Ten-Tec Start
putting the plastic sheets in there? What kind of plastic is it? I guess
polyethylene or polypropylene?
