Your Unit may or may not have this info labeled and might have slightly different (but SIMILAR) RX and TX numbers and other specs (I have MANY of them). I will send out the labled ones first then the unlabled ones. They are all the same model #. They are complete and un-opened and un-tampered with. With minor scatches and some of the silk-screened writing is comming off but is still readable.

Unit is 8 5/8inches long and 2 1/2inches in diameter. It has a marking on it: "Mount in direction of flight" with an arrow. The unit is Tube-Type being filled with "peanut" vacuum tubes.
