I recently purchased at a farm auction an antenna rotor with control unit.  
The control unit has "CDE" printed on the front panel along with 
"transmit/receive direction control".

The panel has a indicator ranging from south to south plus 5 controls 
labeled as follows starting from the top right area of panel.  A knob with 
"CALIBRATE' above it, to the right another knob with "OFF ON'.  Below these 
two knobs are three more rectangular shaped knobs withe a arrow pointing 
counterclockwise above the left most control, "BRAKE RELEASE" above the 
middle control and the extreme right control be low an arrow pointing 
clockwise.  There is no other labels or markings on this box.  The rear has 
an eight terminal board.

The accompaning rotor has the following stamped on the bottom on the outside 
edge, "TRA-4" and beneath that is the numeral "2" (centered below the 
TRA-4).

I have opened the control box hoping to find a label or other indication of 
which model it is (HAM 2, 3, 4 etc.).  I did find a opened fuse that 1/8 amp 
stamped on it, the other fuse in the rear panel was a 3 amp and it was good.

Any help identifying this rotor/control would be appreciated.

73, Jim wd4air
