[TenTec] 450 Ohm feedline

These items are out of the Collins 180L (?) tuner. The roller is that one
with the silver ribbon that winds up on one drum from another. The vacuum
variable is what many of us mobile antenna tuner builders used for the
series cap to the antenna. We sort of threw away the roller...I have 3 of
them sitting in the attic. I think they were worth around $45 at Fair Radio.
These parts probably make a good tuner...did once anyway.
