[ARC5] where used? Franken MX-22!

[Jack Antonio]

Fair Radio was selling these some 20 years ago or so,
just so you could mount a single dial control box directly
on the receiver. I feel pretty safe in saying they did the
modification themselves.

IIRC, it was offered with a type 12 VHF receiver and 
one of the type 12 control boxes.

Also, IIRC, they made you do the electrical part, wiring up
the gain pot and any on/off switch yourself.
