[TowerTalk] Surplus Inductor

[WarrenWolff at aol.com]

Greetings TTalkers,
 
I have found in my junk pile a rather large  variable
inductor.   Many years ago, I retrieved it from a 5  KW
AM transmitter.  It is about 7 inches long and 3 ½
inches in  diameter.  My bathroom scale yields a weight
around 6 ½ pounds.  It  still has the isolated vernier scale/
knob attached.  The size of the  variable pitch makes me
think that there was an upper limit around 20  MHz.
Does this inductor have any practical use in the  modern
world?
