Agree likely for a Mosley TA33 or TA33jr. The difference was power
handling, the diameter of the traps on the "sr" were larger. The jr was
rated for 300 wts IIRC. Still have a TA33jr on the ground to install at the
cottage (waiting for a round tuit). Roof mounted on a row house in the
centre of the city, it was good for the first 298 DXCC barefoot. A bit of
aluminium could make a compact 2el tri-bander with a spare trap. The
coaxial capacitor explanation and maintenance issues mentioned are well
known - HI. Only thing I'd do to reinstall after cleaning the traps would be
to use rivets a la Force12 instead of the single screw. My preference but
please don't start that debate again. If you need a manual, I may have one
to scan if not otherwise available via the usual sources.

Someone suggested Mosley, which seems correct.
Their trap design: http://www.mosley-electronics.com/pdf/trapdesigns.pdf
A tribander with only six traps:

I don?t understand the traps. There are two coils in each, but I don?t see
how that isolates sections for the bands.
The explanation is incomplete, to say the least.
So far, no detailed explanation has appeared from googling.
Thanks,
WL
