(From my blog):

I got a surprise when I opened up the MD-7/ARC-5 of the "This is not
cool" order. First off, I opened it because the connectors didn't look
right. They weren't. The 3-position one for power in (ARC # 5844) was
missing and an "alien" one added to fill the hole while the others
were just plain out of order. Not one of the screws for the bottom
cover is right (read as: hardware store), none of the relays (ARC #s
5586, 6385, 7251 (two of these), & 9453) are present, the RF choke
(ARC # 2092) is missing, and most of the wiring is gone. Someone
started a "First strip the chassis" conversion, from the looks of it.
On the other hand, the capacitors seem to be intact - or at least
present - and none of the tubes or transformers escaped. Oh, and it
appears to have its full complement of resistors.

So thats what I need - the power connector, all the missing relays and
their screws, the choke and its hardware, screws for the bottom cover
and some extras for holding components to the chassis since a few of
them have walked off the job as well. Or an MD-7 with everything above
deck gone but underneath pretty much intact. If someone has either the
parts or a parts chassis they don't mind letting go, I'd truly
appreciate it.

BEst regards,
