[ARC5] SCR-522: Receiver Surprises

[Clare Owens]

Hi Dave,

I have a bunch of 832s, including one with a red RCA logo made in the
1970's for their own internal use.  I'll test them when I get the chance.
I do know that 829Bs have gone to air in large numbers just like the
VT-4Cs, st least from my own experience.
