I took a look at one of my MX-20/ARC-5 units this am.  Stamped in orange ink on it is :
 
MX-20/ARC-5
NOa(s)-6060 then a circle that is larger than the numbers, not an O or 0 then a rectangular box also in orange ink and then finally CBY..  Stamped elsewhere is the Navy anchor with U S in it and released 1-45.  On another side is an orange triangle with 13 A R C  stamped inside it.  Never seen one with so many good easily readable markings.
 
I have a couple of spare "tubs" that hold the adapters in the front of the command set receivers available.  It appears that all my receivers are adequately equipped.  anyone need one?  Not bent up, complete.  Just need the solder removed from the tabs on the back.  Free for postage.
 
Oh yes, the MX-20 has a 5 pin socket with a guide pin on the front.  Well i found another item CLT-49036 that has the same pin arrangement and appears to be the same size.  I don't have the ring that goes around the outside of it but if someone does i think we can or you could make one of these MX-20 units up.  Free for postage
 
On another note if you know someone restoring an aircraft, i have a pair of seatbelts that have a 4-23-43 date stamp on them.  Don't know the nomenclature exactly but if there is some restoration facility that can use them, have them contact me.  I know this type seatbelt was used in the C-47 A/C and if not the same one, a very similar one was even used in the fighters/fighter bombers when i served in the 60's.
