[ARC5] Rack

[J. Forster]

While on the subject of wierd, I saw what was apparently an ARC-5 one unit
wide rack this afternoon at NEARfest, complete with shockmounts in natural
Aluminum.. BUT, instead of the usual connector it had a 6 or 8 pin Jones
connector, wired to a Jones terminal strip in the doghouse on the back.

And, it was not a typical ham hack as the Jones strip was on an "L"
bracket, very nicely rivited to the existing metalwork.

Any ideas? There were no markings.
