Hello  Group,
There is a group at www.groups.yahoo.com that deal with "hobby" use  of 
ARC-5 or "command" sets.  The group's name is ARC-5radio.  I  posted a circuit 
for a lower voltage power supply for these sets among the  "files".  I have 
a number of power supplies, built on a PC card that are  surplus to my 
needs.  Haven't figured a fair price, but if you are  interested send me your 
e-mail address (for mine use vk2bcu "at" Operamail dot  com) and I'll send a 
photo.  Response will be slow and measured,  certainly not "immediate".
There are photos at ARC-5radio group but the  cards I have use a slightly 
different layout.

Interesting cct Les, but limited by the ac use. I have found  on one or two 
sets using a vibrator psu that feeding the set with the 6 or 12v  ac will 
sometimes do the trick, the vib tranny acting as a straight transformer  but 
it does mean battery op's are a no go.
 
The real answer is a small inverter for the ht, with current  so low quite 
a small compact unit can be made. 
 
cheers, Ben.
