[ARC5] Survey Question

[Robert Eleazer]

All this talk about the T-20 on ebay led me to wonder:

How many of y'all have at least one totally unhacked Command Set transmitter?

I have a 4-5.3 ATA I mildly hacked back in the early 70's (connector change to an octal plug and removal of the antenna relay).  The frequency range I left unchanged.  I did not have my ham license then so it did not matter what frequency I used.  In any case I was only transmitting from my bedroom to the kitchen.

I have a 5.3-7 ATA that someone removed everything inside except for the osc coil and associated tuning cap.  It has a cover from a 3-4 ATA.  I figure it will one day make a marvelous basis for a Something on 40M.

And I have a perfect BC-457-A, unhacked and original, even with the center cover plate.  It does have a cracked dial but I figure the one from the gutted ATA will move over there when required.  And I paid $10 for it on ebay back before people went insane.
