Nice big roller.  Two johnson Split stator caps.

1. long wire?
2. Balanced feed using balun on the input or output?
3. Take it apart and sell the parts off?
4. Use it on my vertical to keep the transmitter happy?

I am not sure what this was used for since it has a terminal strip output.  The input is coax. Everything looks like its in good shape otherwise.. Just dirty and dusty.

My goodness. If that roller inductor is the same as the odd one I have (now many can there be like that?), I have been looking for a mate to it for years for a balanced setup. I have other inductors and other items to trade or would be interested it it otherwise. If you are not dead set on that configuration.

What BC rig is it from?
