[ARC5] FT-230A panel adapter...not

[Michael Hanz]

Well, not to put too fine a point on it, the seller has mislabeled the 
auction details because of a rear cover swapped from an FT-230-A.  The 
switch panel is actually one of the two types of FT-260-A's that were 
produced during the war.  To add insult to injury, some previous owner 
evidently used it in a receiver that was modified, requiring a need to 
file a semicircular shaped relief on the right side of the FT-260-A 
front panel.  It might have been because of a need to run wires from the 
inside of the receiver through the gap.  Hard to say at this point.  In 
any case, not really worth a second look unless someone is desperate.

With all the interest in the local control adapters, I slapped up a 
quick web page with photos on the subject - 
http://aafradio.org/flightdeck/Command_Set_Local_Control_Adapters.html
  - it shows what an unmodified bare aluminum FT-260-A should look like.
