Lee -

The "Powermaster" is fairly easy to replicate, just a bunch of holes to cut! I would just put an electrical contactor (any electrical supply place, Home Depot?) in the a 'remote' box with a 240 VAC connector on it (if needed) and then hard wire a power strip(s) to it.

The "Antenna Switch" is a little tougher. The original is a 24V DC motor driving a custom rotary switch to control the motor, ground unused antennas and switch the antenna. There are eight wires to the original 'remote'. A plain old rotary switch is a lot easier, although several relays and a few connectors in a box could substitute for the remote. The original remote is also designed for tower or other outdoor mounting, which would save coax if you have four beams on your tower, but ....

Which is why the basic C-4 without these accessories sells reasonably!  :-)
