Picture shows a silver can (balun?), lightning arrester, insulators, and the cloth covered lead in. My understanding is that a balun is best placed at the mid point of the antenna run on a dipole, but happy to be corrected if wrong.
Not a balanced antenna input on the 38-690 as far as I understand, so would make sense that the kit would include a balun. The lead in would act like a 75 ohm coax.
Silver can could be a loading coil for each leg.....
