[ARC5] Banana plugs

[WA5CAB at cs.com]

Yes, and also the pin layout on the box in the front of the receivers, except 
later production where most pins were omitted.  And the hole circle used for 
the RF/MIXER/OSC rack is the same as used on the AN/ARC-5 transmitters.  If 
you salvage the connector from an early model receiver chassis so that all the 
outer pins are present, and drill a center hole and swage into place one of the 
Pomona mini-banana pins, you'll have a connector that will fit the late 
transmitters.
