>> ?Hello,
>> I just joined this list. I have several old ARC-5 Receivers
>> (various freqs) and a couple of the transmitters. Most from E-Bay,
>> in the past year or so. 2 of each are "un-hacked" :o)) and I also
>> have a couple of the Dynamotors for the receivers.
>>

>> I would like to try and put some of the stuff on the air, without
>> hacking up the unit, anymore than I have to, mainly for cosmetic
>> and nostalgia purposes. I know that several , probably most of the
>> caps, will need replacing, and Ken Gordon (W7EKB), sent me some
>> good ideas about opening various potted units, replacing the
>> internal caps, then re-potting.
>>
>> My ACTUAL question (and reason for posting) is about power supplies
>> for the receivers. Recently, I saw on E-Bay, several neat little
>> power supplies, built on the original Dynamotor frames, and would
>> plug into the original Dynamotor socket. Several have sold already,
>> actually for an unbelievable price :^)).
>> I understand that the original power supply units were built and
>> offered for sale, by Fair Radio Sales, in Lima, Ohio.  They, of
>> course, no longer have any. Does anyone know of a possible source
>> for these PS units?  Even a source for the transformer?  I have the
>> dynamotor base and most of the parts to fab one up, if I could only
>> find the transformer.
>> Any help or suggestions are welcome.
>>
>> Thanks for listening.
