The Drake CS-7 (model 1533) is a premium remote coaxial antenna switch system from the late 1970s/early 1980s, styled to match the Drake 7-Line equipment (e.g., TR-7). The control console is the indoor desktop unit with switches and indicators. It controls a separate outdoor/remote motor-driven switch.
The console which sits on the desk, serves as an antenna switch which switches up to 5 antennas or 5 radios to one antenna. It looks great integrated in the TR-7/7A Station.
