Original Item. One-of-a-Kind. This is a really gorgeous piece that will look tremendous as a display in your office. We believe this to have been made as a “salesman’s sample” or prototype of a desk unit made for aviation officers, a battery/AC powered radar tower with a rotating radar. Watch the video of it rotating with a functional strobe light. This is a model and while it rotates and lights up there is no actual radar equipment contained inside.
The entire set measures roughly 13 x 24 x 22”. A ladder panel on the side removes to reveal two switches, the on/off switch, and the battery/AC charge switch. The set comes with several spare batteries and replacement parts. There is a small spot on one end for parts storage.
To activate the strobe light, the top cover must be removed to reveal a button that switches it on and off. From here, the light can be activated with the provided remote. It will blink in the same way as a radar tower does, and functions well while the unit is rotating. Please review the video for more information on how it functions.
This is a really phenomenal piece that will look great on the desk of anyone with an aviation/radar related job, or just as a complement to any collection. Comes ready for further research and display!
