[ARC5] Type 12s with tuning dials.

[WA5CAB at cs.com]

I went back and more carefully studied the photos and made the following 
conclusions:

The receiver was an (probably NOS) R-10 or R-10A.  You can see the silk 
screened J-506 just below the 6-9.1 dial.  The two Phillips screw heads just 
above the dial are plugging the holes for the rivets that originally attached 
the nameplate.  If the receiver was early enough, the tuning capacitor frame 
probably still had the holes for mounting the parts to mount and drive the 
dial, which could be taken from any junker.  I would guess that the receiver 
still covers the BCB.
