Hello,
super noob question.
recently, buying a ham radio "lot", I entered in possession of a "TRANSCO 14100 SP4T Switch-RF XMSN line (28 volts)".
I couldn't find many informations online, it's only listed here:

basic ham-radio stuff but rather lab-level RF equipment.
Does anyone have any informations (datasheet) about it? I couldn't find any.
What could be a purpose of a switch like this in a Lab environment? (sorry if this question sounds shocking, I'd like to know for what kind of testing, or measurements, this can be useful for). More generally, I have no idea how to use it (I imagining applying 28volts somewhere it will switch between the 4 ports?). Why it has this weird shape?
As you can see, I have no idea of what to think about it. Perhaps I should re-sell it.
[I am searching for reasons to not sell it, and accumulate "my precious"
]
Any idea about its possible (realistic) value?
thanks a lot!
