    Heathkit SA-2040 antenna tuner. Nice.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    I have a junker '2040 sitting here. It will be built into something resembling the tuner in the picture below. Mine will have a pair of meters (FWD Set/REFL Pwr) from an old Royce CB installed above the capacitor tuning knobs and will show through the red insert - just like the SB104/SB230. The turns counter for the rotary inductor will be moved to a central point and will also be illuminated.

    Two small Heathkit knobs positioned between the others will be used for the FWD Cal meter function and for an antenna selector switch - which is one thing many tuners lack.
