Wowsers, I think you're right. Looks like most, if not all the
equipment and accessories still have the tags hanging on them. And the
canvas covers for the ATB - never seen one. Or the metering unit, for
that matter.

You'll have a nice set up once you get yours set up, Dave. Even with
hairy cables. (o: I'd love to find a source of visually-appropriate
stuff to use but will probably end up going the 'whatever works' route
myself. My set up with be the ATC with the RAX triplets shown in the
manual on Mike's page, along with a RU-16/GF-11 station with the
beacon receiver and DU-1. Always had a hankerin' for the ARB and ATB,
but the former is usually found hacked up and the latter is seldom
found at all. They have a very high 'cool gadget' factor.

Looking forward to seeing the finished project.
