[ARC5] BC 453 request

[J Mcvey]

 If anybody does have knobs for the loop switch, I could use a couple...The knobs are hard to find, but I imagine the cover is next to impossible , unless you find a destroyed parts radio.

If the request comes from someone attempting to assemble a historically realistic three-receiver rack, he's not likely to care about its use as a "Q-fiver".
If the cover for the loop select switch is needed, then a small detail like what model had such a thing would seem to matter, no?

> I’m hoping to restore a BC453 navigation receiver to complete a 3 rx rack. It’s the one with the 2 loop antenna terminals on the front. It is missing the little black box that covers the loop switch, and the switch knob. Will appreciate any help! Best 73 to all.

Martin, there are no BC-453-* beacon band receivers with loop terminals and switch.  Those were only on the very rare RAV CBY-46002 and the common R-23*/ARC-5 and the less common R-148/ARC-5X.  You almost certainly have an R-23*.

Good luck!
