40 pf trimmer cap (C9) on KXAT1 tuner

Mike and Alicia Fanning
I was very excited to finish my KX1 serial number 1225 and start the
alignment procedures.  Radio seems to be humming along fine, but the antenna
tuner alignment hit a snag.  When I began to null the trimmer cap C9, it was
very difficult to rotate, and then broke free violently, mashing the plates
against each other.  Has anyone else encountered this problem?  I have
dropped Elecraft an email asking for help, so hopefully will hear back
tomorrow.  What kind of turnaround have fellow enthusiasts experienced on
replacement parts?  I'd sure like to get the radio on the air with random
wires this weekend...

73,
Mike, K4GU
