Talking about matching units.... I found this tuner from a company called
Consolidated Electronics out of NJ. Its pretty old but in mint condition on
the
inside. It's a big wx proof box containing a very large heavy duty coil
designe
for balanced output. Has heavy duty waffer switches setup to select different
values from the available doorknob capacitors and can be remotely selected
using a
ledex motor and control cable. Supposed to handle a KW AM and designed to
cover 3-
15 MHz using a 90ft dipole fed with ladderline to the tuner.
