This is a sort of typical thing I do to kill a weekend. At a swapmeet on
Saturday I purchased a matt green piece of kit with co ax hanging off
it. Can anybody tell me it is worth having? It is marked Aerial Tuning
Unit No.9 ZA 476 80 D^D then embossed MPH 1959 and a serial number. It
has a meter in the middle (swr?) of a two coax terminals. It looks
somewhat over engineered to say the least. The twins love it because it
has a dial and a knob or two: what era of HF is it from? 50's or 60's or
70's or what. It is approx. 6inches by 5inches wide by 5 inches deep.
I have put some mog links on my web page. That rminds me that i talked
to the owner of a 101" (ex rapier i think)(unusual in Australia) at the
swap. He paid $17000 for it and has spent thousands since... but it
looks good. Also i saw an adv for "Chevy Blitz $350". I even went to
look at it. Well call me ferrous oxide if this thing was nt actually at
one time a Chevy Blitz mid wheelbase. There was so must rust it must
have been out there in that paddock 20 years or so. It can stay there
too. The end of another military vehicle. There's a Neil Young lyric
here someplace...
