[ARC5] My R-25/ARC-5 and ARA CBY-46104

[Kenneth G. Gordon]

My only R-25/ARC-5 has NOs-74912 and the serial number 1281 on the top. 

This one was badly hacked. Extra holes, case is banged up, lots of missing paint, and 
scratches, missing screws, all can-caps have been removed and replaced with 1KV disks, 
audio transformer gone, choke gone, 3 X .22 mfd cap gone, MX-21 gone, Pl-can gone, 
bottom-plate gone, lid gone, added plate in the front with a switch, a 1/4" phone jack, and a 
pot-with-knob mounted, modifications inside, tubes changed. Sigh...

The ARA has CBY-46104 NOs-74912 and the serial number 7258 on the top.

Some dirty SOB removed the 3 X .22 mfd cap, the choke, the audio transformer, the 
dynamotor mounts, the bottom-plate, the lid, and the CCT-49107 Switch Panel Adapter from 
this one.

Otherwise, it is in good condition. Case is not banged up nor are there any extra holes drilled 
anywhere, and the inside bottom looks very clean. It is obviously fairly easily restorable. 

Still, it pisses me off, even if it is restorable.
