[ARC5] Bendix RA-1B receiver

[Mike Hanz]

Hi John,

They're around, but not as common as, say, a command receiver.  I just 
saw one on ebay the other day, from commercial airline usage mods -

Not a bad general coverage set, though the tube types within are double 
ended and a bit noisy.  It also has that fascinating "down = on" British 
design philosophy for the toggle switches. :-)   The peripherals 
(dynamotor, shock mount, and remote control box) are a bit harder to 
find.  The normal connectors are standard RU/GF and SCR-173/273 types.

73,
Mike
