Yes they do! In fact, I credit your pages entirely with my interest in
the RAX group and now the ATC to mate them up with. Thanks to your
detailed information and help along the way, I now have a nice set of
receivers, an original manual, and a full set of those unobtainium
GK-4 connectors. And when a connector guy sent me the wrong backshells
(newer design) for them, I hunted down a set of the original types so
they'd be more....accurate? Three dynamotors and a couple other
trinkets, and I'll have them up and running!

Granted, summer always intervenes with other priorities that push
radio to the backseat, but cooler days are a-comin'.

And along with the RAX stuff, your pages have answered endless
questions on ARC-5 and other matters, like identifying oddball items
that show up here. Or how clean, unmodified gear is supposed to look.

There's no way to place a value on the work you've done Mike. You and
a handful of others are responsible for many others being able to get
their heads around the intricacies and unknowns of this old stuff.

And thanks to Hue's recent RU/GF offerings, that set up will be nearly
complete too.

So, even though it's a bit off the SCR-183 topic, thanks again!  (o:
