[ARC5] "after Market" control boxes etc.

I just dug up my A.R.C. parts catalog and the tube shield thingy is 
actually a plate, A.R.C.p/n 15392.

Group, 
 A while back I aquired from the "the place of aquisition that cannot 
be named" a progect A.R.C. type 12 that appears to be a C.A.P project 
that was never completed or possibly just someone who wanted a portable 
aircraft set.Anyway,it's a wooden base with an R-19 mounted and a 
wooden panel above it with a control box made by M.J.Johnson,Aircraft 
Engineering Co. 
R-4002,s/n215,28V.It has the A.R.C. crank and spline drive,dial goes 
118 -148 Mc,has a LO-HI switch,SENS,OFF switch/pot and a TRANS A-K 
channel select switch.No connector on the back,but an ~8ft cable 
hardwired and strain reliefed at the box. Does anyone know about this 
company?I can probably figure out the wireing and it's probably a knock 
off of an existing A.R.C. box. 
 The wood base had holes drilled for a T-13 Tx shock mount which was 
not included but which I have.Also, a homemade antenna on a lucite 
base.(and a 4 ft spline cable!).Hopefully getting this progect finished 
will get me on the road to all the other ones waiting in the endless 
que! 
Thanks, 
Jay KE6PP 
  PS The T-13 is supposed to have a widgit thingy that looks like a 
multiple tube shield and is missing from my T-13.Anyone have a 
spare?This thingy was evidently required to allow operation through 148 
MHz.
