Google can't find it
http://hereford.ampr.org/millist/m4.html doesn't know.
Navy once did since it's s.n. NAS 622
I bought it @ a hamfest from an old guy 6 years ago &, excluding missing
tubes & a meter, it seems complete.
It's "modulator deck" had ~7 octals & 1 loctal plus an 829B.
Huge coaxial oscillator assy. ~16" long & ~6" diameter. Had octal-based,
radial-finned tetrode(?) in there.
Front panel has N-type RF out & BNC 'Sync in' jack.
Old guy says there was a conversion* article on it somewhere in the 50s.
Ham TV.
So guess it's ~300mc 200W TV tx to replace 1st prod'n AXT-7... the thing
with the 8025s.
Perhaps it's the UHF tv rosetta stone??
