[ARC5] EBay "eletrocution special" for sale!

[WA5CAB at cs.com]

I've seen a similar thing for the BC-603/683.  Except that there are two 
versions that look alike.  Both were apparently sold assembled with the new 
parts on a DM-34 base.  Most that I found only have a filament transformer 
(naturally the one that I have several of).  One is a decent quick test supply 
for working on the sets, with a proper center tapped HV winding power 
transformer, 12V centapped winding, and 6X5GT.
