That is a T/R switch. There should be a very low value capacitor
connected from the box to the "TUBE" side of the Pi-Net in the
transmitter, and a piece of RG-59 coax coming out of the top of the box
to the receiver antenna input. Filament and plate power for the 6AH6
comes from the transmitter.
Great little box, instantaneous (QSK) T/R switching with no relay
clacking. It was originally published in QST, and then sold
commercially by the author, W3DM.
