Modulator / Spark Gap
(EQP) CG35ABEAPS20
General Electric. Brand new in the crates! CG-35ABE Modulator. Includes Rotary Spark Gap, GE 8378385GR1, driven by 1/6 HP 115 vac, 60 Hz motor.
High inductance, high voltage transformer, G.E. Cat.# 83118065, 11,200v (22.8kv peak). Motorized (with G.E. 115 vac, 60 Hz drive motor) voltage regulator / variac, 115 vac (±30.4%), 60 Hz, 16.2 amps, 132 pounds. 24" deep x 28" wide x 59" high. F16-M-40951-2491.
Crated weight 1,460 pounds. APS-20 radar systems were the heart of WWII surveillance, used in the Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress and P2V-2S Neptune.
This new and complete unit contains all of the items featured on this page plus many more! In today's dollars the CG-35 sold for $250,000 about 60 years ago. We have no nomenclature on this unit and can supply no operational instruction or advice. Surplus Sales is not responsible for the use or misuse of this apparatus. Only qualified personnel should attempt any experimentation involving the CG-35. May contain products considered hazardous to today's standards.
We are thinning the herd. I have 50 units in stock and will conduct a sale until 25 have been sold. This is a once in a lifetime chance to own both a piece of history and an excellent building block to many different energy related projects.
