[GreenKeys] WTD: Info On B&W Model B Turret

[Merz Donald S]

The B&W model B turret was apparently made before WWII. It has a =
multi-deck 4 position switch in a mount surrounded on 3 sides with coil =
jack bars for B&W Bxx coils. This setup gives you both band switching =
and plug-in coils. I guess the idea is that coils for your 3 most-used =
bands could stay in the turret. So coil changing to switch bands is kept =
to a minimum. I think the B turret must be rated 100-150 watts.=20

If anyone has an original brochure on the B turret or pages from a B&W =
catalog that could be copied, I'd like to see that. Alternatively, if =
anyone has seen any published construction articles that use this =
assembly, that would be very interesting too. All I have now is the =
listing and photo in an old Radio Supply catalog.

Any help appreciated.
Thanks.
