need help ID'ing CushCraft 10-15-20 beam
 
Just picked up a disassembled 3 element CushCraft beam.
I think its a 10-15-20 meter beam, but not certain. There are
traps (TB-1) on all 3 elements (6 total). The boom was
missing.

Hoping to identify the model so I can get assembly instructions
and length of the boom. No luck with a net search.

Since MFJ bought Cushcraft, the new (mostly empty) Web site is

http://www.cushcraftamateur.com/

with the manuals at

http://www.cushcraftamateur.com/manuals.htm

Maybe you can go through the manuals for the tri-banders 'til you find
something that looks familiar.

Hi Steve,

I'm no expert on Cushcraft, but a quick look at the few manuals that I
have on BAMA turns up only one beam that uses the identifier "TB-1"
and that is the three element A3WS duo-bander for 12 and 17 meters.
You are welcome to download the manual from either the main BAMA site
at http://bama.sbc.edu or from the mirror site at http://bama.edebris.com
The other Cushcraft beams that I looked at had two traps on each
element half if they were the 10-15-20 mx variety. Hope this helps.

Thanks guys!!!! It is the A3WS and I was able to download
the manual. Was hoping it would do 20 meters.

Great, Steve! I'm glad that you were able to identify the beam and
download the manual.
Twenty meters is a blast, but 17 isn't far behind. I think you will
enjoy it very much.
