[ARC5] BC-AR-429 and RU-18 Connectors

[Mike Everette via ARC5]

The connectors are different for the RU-18/19 and the earlier RU series. The one for the RU-18/19 has one hole with a larger diameter, designed to admit a guide or key pin.  The RU-18/19 was a stand-alone receiver, whereas the earlier RU series were designed to be paired with a transmitter (GF, GO, GP series).  The idea behind the different connectors was to keep the stand-alone receiver from being plugged into a "standard" RU setup.
Seems to me that there are also differences in the bias circuit between the RU-18/19 and earlier sets.  The actual wiring differences may be in the dynamotor bases.  I'd have to consult my manuals (I have both kinds) but they aren't where I can get to them at the moment.
I do think, though, that connectors for the BC-229/429 and the RU series through RU-17 may be the same.  But not the 18/19.

Does the BC-AR-429 and RU-18 both use the same electrical connectors?

Thanks,
