I worked for W6HX in Southern California in the early 1970's, and he
built prop motor systems at the time. We built the controllers in the
S-line speaker cabinet, which is smaller than this unit and does not
have the hinged top. This one looks like it has the 24 volt transformer
in the shack instead of on the tower. So it's not one of those. I wish
I could find one now (at least the prop motor).
