Re: [TowerTalk] Rotator Control Box on Ebay

[WK6F <wk6f@pacbell.net>]

I worked for W6HX in Southern California in the early 1970's, and he 
built prop motor systems at the time.  We built the controllers in the 
S-line speaker cabinet, which is smaller than this unit and does not 
have the hinged top.  This one looks like it has the 24 volt transformer 
in the shack instead of on the tower.  So it's not one of those.  I wish 
I could find one now (at least the prop motor).
