[ARC5] R-26/ARC-5

[Glenn Little WB4UIV]

I was given a ARC-5 that tunes 3-6 Mc.
Unfortunately the previous owner started to modify the receiver.
The dynamotor connector was removed as well as the shock mounts.
There is a terminal strip with four wires attached, probably B+ and 
filament, probably for the attachment of an external power supply.
The rear connector is still on the receiver, but, all of the wires 
that were attached have been removed.
Other wise the receiver is pretty much in original condition.
There has been one capacitor replaced or added.
The bottom cover is missing.

Inside the cover for the tubes is the local spline tuning knob and a 
smaller 3-6 Mc indicator dial.

What is the dial for? Was it to go on the remote control for the receiver?

The receiver was made under contract number NXSA-32848 and is serial 2832.
The rear indicates that the receiver was accepted by the Navy and 
RELEASED 1-44.
The ARC QA stamp indicates 3-44.
The tubes appear to be the original tubes and I suspect that this 
receiver was surplused new.

Thanks
