[ARC5] RAX Receiver Component Numbers (CG-46xxx) Info Request

[Todd, KA1KAQ]

Would they have just used a 12v dynamotor with the same output
voltages, and stamped a big '12V' on the back of the receiver instead?
I've seen other sets that appeared to use this approach, though I
didn't pay close attention. Maybe Command sets?
