[ARC5] Fwd: Rebuild or No: A Poll

[AKLDGUY .]

It depends how much significance you attach to the "scarce A.R.C.- make
model". This unit is of interest to serious collectors, and they're few and
far between. The drilled holes and the damage(?) caused by fitting the coax
connector mean that it will never be pristine. To most of us, it's just
another SCR-274N, despite its rarity. My choice 2.
