[ARC5] Missing meter in Phantom Antenna A-61-A (#7777)

Sat Apr 9 03:37:19 EDT 2016

Hi there,

Thank you for the information.
What type of capacitor is inside?
It is a vacumn capacitor?

My meter is what Mike said,
0-4 (non linear scale) internal thermocouple
has a white scale labeled AMPERES R.F.
WESTON 507 (metal case) ARC #7781

Whereas the ANTENNA RELAY UNIT type BC-442-AM or RE-2/ARC-5
0-10 (linear scale) external thermocouple
has a black scale lebeled ANTENNA CURRENT INDICATOR
GENERAL ELECTRIC (DW-52) metal case, BC-442 and RE-2 (CCT manufactured)
SANGAMO (Weston 507) metal case, RE-2 (CBY manufactured)

Regards
ray
