[ARC5] Unknown control box

[D. Platt]

Mac,  I think that the color is an industry standard gray color that 
arguably 95% of heavy-metal panels are painted.  Narco always had flat 
black, as did King and most others.  For a short time, ARC/Cessna 
300-series radios did have some gray avionic panels to match those years 
production of single-engine Cessna piston genav aircraft.  Of course, 
ARC always had mostly gray.  I've got a box of Gables heads and 90% are 
black, however,a couple are gray.  Our Caravan has gray.
