I have boxes at the base of my towers. I use only 6 control justion 123
and 567 on CDR, TELEX rotors and double the extra #4 and #7 to #1 and #2
to over come some IR loss and the Motor Starting CAP at the base of the
tower and full 1 through * up the tower to rotor.
When I did not have a BOX at the bottom I put the Cap in a junction box at
the top of the tower and the junction connection to the rotor ;
