[ARC5] Creative ARC-5 Set-Up

[Scott Robinson]

I converted an old Buick car radio (not a sychronous vibrator type!) by 
just replacing the vibrator with a jumper to one side of the power 
transformer primary and running the whole thing off a 6V filament 
transformer. The radio had a 8 inch speaker built in, so no cabinet.
