I'm looking for information (possibly a schematic) for a Lunar Electronics Oscarbox J that I picked up from an estate sale. I'm not sure exactly what it is and haven't been able to find any information on it. Looks like it might be a 432-436 mHz converter? Any help please? Dave, W0DF
Google found an ad for it in the April 1978 (!) issue of Ham Radio Magazine.

See page 94. It looks like it's intended for listening to Mode J on a Mode A receiver, so down-converting 435MHz to 29MHz. This would be for the "new" Oscar 8 satellite. :-)
