The T-126/ARC-5 is real.  It is a redesigned T-23,
which allows the same freq range on all four channels;
the original scheme caused a lot of problems with "90-day wonder" radio 
techs.
IIRC, instead of the 100-150 Mc split up between channels, the T-126s 
channels
all tuned something like 110-148 Mc (don't remember for sure).
It was made by Western Electric under Navy contract NXsa-91970,
which would place its production around mid-1945.
