Dave,

The Y-50 that is shown is 2100 kHz.  That is the correct crystal frequency found in every T-17/ARC-5 that I have ever seen.  Likewise:

T-15     800
T-16    1300

Unlike the ATA and the SCR-274-N, there were no standard Y-50 frequencies in the AN/ARC-5, so something different could be found in any transmitter, but I have seen nothing other for T-17.

I listed actual observed Y-50 frequencies for all such transmitters here:

So.  I'll bet that $5000 plus shipping looks a bit more tempting now!  :-)
