[TowerTalk] Hygain Rotobrake, info wanted

[Jim]

The HyGain Roto-Brake that I just sold was un-used and in the original box.
(Just the rotor itself) Looking in the 1960 ARRL Handbook, in the HyGain
section, the rotor that was in the add is what I had.


It had a selsen in the motor unit.  Not a Pot. The motor was 110 volts AC.
It was 100% original.

Just an FYI.
