[TowerTalk] Rotator Control Bulbs

[alsopb]

Stan,

I've never seen the plastic case control boxes for any other use than
HAMm's.

Have had several 2's, 3's and 4's here and they all had metal cases
control boxes.  These units all have meter indication 100% on the
time.  Apparently, only the Ham-m control boxes had to be modified for
such.  Made such a mod back in 1960 along with brake delay to a Ham-m
box.
