[ARC5] [Milsurplus] Economic realities and modification

[J. Forster]

Sorry. I disagree.

There are people out there that want to replicate "their first Novice

up following some "conversion" article....  just like in the 1950s.

for a fraction of the cost and if like me you’re looking to build up a
copy of your first receiver, or what your first receiver should have
been your going to buy the hacked set for less money to start with.
