[ARC5] I feel like Tevy

[D. Platt]

The '669 and the power supply he also has do not include the 
interconnect cable.  The connectors for same are all but unobtanium.  As 
a restorer of not a few BC-669's, I can only relate that 4 out of 5 of 
them will require an extensive re-cap, to include the large mica used in 
the antenna tuning circuit.  Once done over, though, these rigs do sound 
very nice, indeed, and will load into almost anything.  They are tough 
on crystals, however, so beware of miniature crystals as the 6L6 
oscillator can do them in.   Also, if you happen on to the correct 
cable, be sure its for the model you have.  That is, the "D: model has 
an additonal and re-configured conductor for the remote B+ switch.  
Models up to the "C" model do not have this.  The tell-tale is that an 
original "D" cable will have a straight back shell.  Earlier models have 
a 90 deg, back shell.   The model-correct schematic and parts list and 
layout is also mandatory.  Finally, many '669s don't have the snap-on or 
thumb-screw on back panel as its bolted to the transit case and is all 
too often left behind.

Been there - Done that.
