[ARC5] Fall Project: 160 Mtr AN/ARC-5 Set

[jcoward5452 at aol.com]

Dave and Group,
 I have a TN-6 with virtually no paint left on it.To restore, it will need disassembly, paint, reassembly and some way to to do the lettering. Any body have any ideas or should I leave it as is? Isn't the mount for the TN-6 the same as for the modulator?
 Thanks,
             Jay KE6PPF

Fall Project: 
60 Mtr AN/ARC-5 Set using the T-17 transmitter
nd TN-6 Antenna Tuner, ready for testing:

Ain't she purrr-deee?  ;-)
es- that is the display board I used way back at the first 
RCG meeting in San Luis Obisbo in 1995, re-worked.
Haven't finished refurbing the R-25, so using an R-26 for tests.
he J-22 jack box is mounted on the vertical post just
ehind and to the left of the receiver.  Will be moving that 
nder the C-26 once I lace-up a longer cable.  This set
oes not use (or need) a C-29 TX control box;
n authentic option.  All the major and most of the minor 
omponants match the contract of the T-17 and TN-6, 
Xsa-32848.
ll the connectors save one are 9000-series ARC-5 loom type.
 haven't found my "correct" ARR-2 receiver rack- must be here
omewhere- so am temporarily subbing the rare ARA single
ack until I do find it.  The manual says to connect the TN-6
oading coil between the transmitter and the antenna switch,
ut this is bad practice as- if using the intended electrically-short
ircraft antenna- it puts a high-voltage node inside the RE-2.
o I elected to insert it after the switch (probably won't need it
nyway, but it just looks so cool ;-).
Winter Project:  90% certain it will be the Australian AT5/AR8.
OK ya'll- your turn.  What's your "winter" project?
