[ARC5] Clarification -T22 Request for Conversion Info

[Ron Evans]

Hi, Guys

For those who have written concerned that I'm going to take a jack 
hammer and power drill to my nearly MINT T-22, please rest easy in your 
minds.

Of course I could DO that, but why?  I LOVE it just as it is; I simply 
want to be able to use it on 40 cw, not MANGLE it.

I have received some very helpful info from David Stinson who makes the 
point very well when he wrote:

"The only "modifications"  needed to a Command transmitter if you're
not going to use the whole set-up are simple and 100% restorable."

Then he details replacement of the bathtub caps, a little magic in the 
antenna relay and selector relay, cleaning the roller coil assembly, and 
finally advises a 4:1 UNUN between the ARC-5 antenna connector and the 
52-ohm coax feedline (if applicable).

I have no intention of destroying the collectible value of my T-22 by 
drilling holes in it!  That was never my intention.  Now we can all 
breathe easier.

And while we're breathing, I could still use some info on powering the 
old gal.  (Voltages, current requirements, pin numbers etc.)  Someone 
even suggested the use of a Heathkit HP-23 power supply but left it at 
that with no further info.  So, any help you can sling my way will be 
very much appreciated.  Tanx tons!

73,

Ron - K5MVR
