The B-1000 was apparently sold in such small quantities that today it 
brings prices all out of proportion to it's value and original price of 
$24.95.  It's just a toroidal 4:1 "current" style balun that was 
included inside many antenna tuners sold in the era.  I guess Drake 
thought hams weren't using balanced antennas any more (probably close to 
the truth at the time), and allowed them to reduce the price of the 
tuner by about 10%.

A picture can be found at

The three holes in the PC board match up with the output terminals on 
the MN-7 / 2700 tuners.
