Kees I think that's giz for 180L auto L-match that had some GI #.  Was
fer DC amp off phase det.  Heard tuned trailing wire in SSB installs
on B50, DC97, B36, C135 'n stuff

I've had 2 of these & choppers in both were/are FB

Little known is they make great loading-coil/tuner for short non-resonant
verticals.  Read "like on a boat."

BUT

And that's a big one.  Take 24vdc, 110 at 400~, 250v at 40ma.

However more fun to watch than Sponge Bob square pants w. cover off

  'rm... doing CX R&R
