[MRCG] Coral Castle Museum/Military Radio equipment information

[Dennis DuVall]

Patricia,

I concur with John on item 2.

The first item sounds like a TU-10B "Tuning Unit" used with a couple of WW2 radio transmitters.  The unit actually contained the circuits required to tune the transmitter's oscillator and amplifier stages as well as the antenna.  Can provide a lot more information if desired.
