[ARC5] Oddball ARC-5 T-16 Transmitter

[David Stinson]

Oddball T-16 Transmitter.
I'm working to revive an AN/ARC-5 T-16 transmitter
for a friend.   It has a few issues I'm addressing.
No drill holes, good paint and looks very recoverable 
with a little work.

The transmitter's Antenna Switching relay is absent.
Not unusual in itself; there are other signs of a visit
by the "Ham-burgler" in the rig.  Was going to replace
it when I noticed something strange.  Normally, there
is a small notch through the chassis, behind the front 
panel on the radio's Port side.  This gives passage
to the two wires that connect the Antenna relay.
But in this transmitter, there is no notch.  No wires
going forward.  No little "keeper" that usually holds
them down to the underside of the chassic next to 
the side wall.  And no evidence of wires having 
been removed from where these two usually connect.

It appears this radio was produced with no antenna 
relay installed.  I find that difficult to accept, but 
the fact of the missing chassis notch, etc. is clear.
There simply isn't a way to pass the two wires 
to the chassis underside.  

I've never seen this.  Any ideas?
