Wow. What a nice job. Those bottles in the rear, are they leyden jars? Has the AWA made a video on this one yet?

The AWA Museum recently received a donation of "Blue Lightning", a replica of a 1910, 1/2 KW, Synchronous Rotary Spark Gap Transmitter. It had been built by N4GG, in memory of his father, 2NJ.
This is not "OT", as can be seen in the next picture
The motor driving the rotary spark gap is a "standard of the industry" unit:
have fun,
