Had a wonderful morning visiting with folks from the region, but was 
reminded of the surprises that can still appear at a hamfest.  I saw a 
guy with a three receiver ARC-5 rack that he had just bought for $20 - 
had three receivers in it.  The rack had a fair amount of corrosion from 
a wet basement, but the receivers weren't too bad.  One was an 
R-27/ARC-5, but the other two were R-112 and R-113/ARC 5 VHF receivers 
dated 11/1944, serial numbers in the mid 20s.  Paraphrasing Agent Mulder 
- they are still out there... :-)

73,
Mike
