"Up for your consideration is a beast of a vintage Remote Antenna Tuner, featuring top-tier components from Cardwell Condenser Corp and Pittman. This unit is a 'Homebrewer's Dream.' It is packed with high-quality, heavy-duty RF components that are becoming increasingly hard to find. It was clearly built for high-voltage, high-power applications (likely Military or Aerospace).
Key Features: Manufacturer: Cardwell Condenser Corp (Long Island, NY). Motors: Two Pittman 12VDC Gear Motors (Model GM8312B663) for remote precision tuning. Inductors: Multiple silver-plated roller inductors and heavy-gauge coils in excellent physical condition. Capacitors: Massive Cardwell air-variable capacitors with thick plates for high-voltage breakdown resistance. Relays: Includes a Struthers-Dunn (S-D) 425HXX124 12VDC high-voltage relay. Condition: Sold AS-IS for parts or restoration. The chassis is rugged aluminum, and the internal components show minimal corrosion—pure quality from the 1980s.
Don't miss out on these rare components. This is a heavy unit and will be packed with extreme care to ensure the ceramic insulators and capacitor plates remain intact during shipping."
