[ARC5] Make that Old T-17 Work with BC-456

[hwhall at compuserve.com]

If it's sounding all so fine and mellow.... it ain't a T-17 anymore. Just 3D print a fake-a-roo and leave the old hardware intact.  A T-17 with electret guts seems like those 'tombstone' radios with the cassette player stuck in the side.  Abomination.  :-D

This world ain't perfect.  I don't know about you, but the sand in my hour glass is getting a little low, and given the current world situation,  I'd kinda like to enjoy my gear before "Ol' Grim" comes to collect me.  

So if you're T-17 will so even 10% mod, here's a non-destructive way to change two resistors and get your BC-456 modulator singing for you:
