What the Heck is this thing?

I recall these and when they came out. I knew some guys who had them. As Alvin said
it took some skill and perseverance to get them to run right. Most of those I knew dumped them. One still has one but hasn't tried firing it since first purchased. At one time he asked my help in turning it into a desk lamp which we never did.

There's a chance that this one has been debugged or maybe always worked however balance that with the chance it might just be a bowzer. I'd suggest waiting for a pleasantly restored
run of the mill 1930 comm from China. Better as a shooter.
