[ARC5] BC-AR-430 and BC-AL-230

[Mike Hanz]

  Robert occasionally (but almost never) has the same dyslexia I suffer 
from :-) ...VT-52 is the output tube number.

The -430 (SCR-283) is the 28v version of the 14 volt -230 (SCR-183).  
The mish-mash of types and compatibility is at 
http://aafradio.org/docs/SCR-183-283_interchangeability.pdf

Dave Stinson has a beautiful SCR-183 set he is building - I'm sure he 
will post a photo link here shortly.
