To me, looking at all the pictures, it /appears/ that pretty much entire 
setup is, in fact, offered, to include the balanced loop cable assy.  
What does appear missing is the flex tuning cable. The ARN-59, et al, 
can be seen from time to time in Trade-a-Plane for a bit less, yellow 
tagged.  Just saying.  Of course the good thing is, looks like virtually 
all is present, just no confidence as with a "yellow tag".... A.R.C 
really liked those wire-in tubes and my experience is that they are a 
very long life and rugged tube.  However, finding some of them can be a 
chore.

It is found commonly under JAN nomenclature as the C-2275/ARN for the R-836/ARN, plus dynamotor DY-150/ARN and other items all part of AN/ARN-59.  It's a common set in surplus, and the control panel is worth about $25 US.  This ADF was often installed on military helicopters of that era, u ncludind UH-1D models.
