Not so huge, rack mounted but only two rack units, four valves, a
small crystal oven with two crystals, a tuning knob with dial, a
rotary switch which says: NORMAL, NORMAL +/- dF, FSK, FSK +/- dF.
My unit has serial number N00016. Probably only very few units were
ever made. No track anywhere. Probably this unit of mine is the sole
survivor today.


Rinus Jansen's book lists the MA161, but merely describes it as
a Fine Tuning Unit but no further details alas. Other units in
the MA1xx range are for the RA-17 or RA-117.
