Weird Tuner!

Started to work on this one today, it's going to go slow because I'm planning on restuffing all the caps, figured I'll take a couple of them to work each day and do them there, doing it here at home makes too much acrid stench when you melt them on the stove!

It's pretty much your standard Electrostatic 7" set except for one thing, The tuner! it's an inductive tuner using sliding ferrite and coils, I have another Raytheon built set that uses an inductive tuner but it's very small and simple, this big ol thing looks like Rube Goldberg designed it, Why they put it in their smallest and cheapest set I'll never know.

Anyway if anyones interested here are some pictures and a link to a 5 meg movie of the tuner.
