[ARC5] Rarest ATA

Not "one of," Todd.   *The*  2-TX ATA rack.  I hate to think how many "M" pieces got destroyed, but at least we have saved some.

I've got one of the ATA morgue racks, probably from the same source.
It holds a pair of ATA transmitters, one 'newer' style, one older.
Other than a bit of dust, it's like new.
