I'd second that. Actually, I never saw or used one, but judging from the manual, which is down loadable from the Collins Collector's web site, it was designed for trailing wire antennas on military aircraft. It has the Collins MIL-spec look to it.

If you can scrounge the parts, you can build a pretty good L network. That's what I did using a surplus variable capacitors and the Ten-Tec variable inductor that they used in their small tuners.

                                                                       73,

If you are looking for any _manufactured_ L network tuner, keep an eye out
for a Collins 180S-1, probably the best manufactured L network tuner for
hams ever made.
