[ARC5] ARC-5 Spline Shaft to Knob Shaft Adapter

[hwhall at compuserve.com]

Ah! If I'd bought one of them and then discovered that was the procedure required to use it, I would have been a mite unhappy about it. His advert says nothing but: 
"JUST SLIP ONTO YOUR ARC-5 TUNING CAPACITOR SHAFT, TIGHTEN THE SETSCREWS WITH THE INCLUDED WRENCH, AND ADD THE KNOB OF YOUR CHOICE. THAT'S ALL THERE IS TOO IT!"    [the all caps were his, not mine :-) ]

From the way he described it, it sounds almost like he'd not seen an unhacked set before.

You have to temporarily remove the top cover from the receiver and loosen the tuning capacitor from the front panel (4 screws). Then slide the capacitor and spline shaft back enough to tighten the set screws as you slide the adapter shaft through the ARC-5 shaft collar. Then put it all back and your good to go!

I can't picture how the set screws are to be tightened onto the spline shaft as he described since (on all my sets) the spline shaft is recessed down inside the threaded cable collar. Or do you crank the set screws down & then jam the thing onto the shaft?

There are some ARC-5 adapters on eBay from a guy who has made these to fit the 
spline shaft on the tuning capacitor.

They work great!
