I have two old motorized Jennings vacuum capacitor units that I need schematics
for. I don't remember where I picked these up - swap meet I think.
The units look like they were removed from a tuning system of some type - not
necessarily for radio though. Perhaps a medical device (MRI etc.).
I can send you photos of the units if you like.
The system has a 26.5V DC motor made by Collins. The motor drives a speed
reduction gear system that then drives a pinion gear that moves a lever that
pulls the capacitor plunger in and out. There are two limit switches on the
unit.
The interface to the unit is via DB 25 connectors.
I can sit down and reverse engineer the wiring of the unit but I thought I
would see if someone already has a schematic for it.
I intend to use them to shunt feed my tower on 160.
Thanks for your help.
