[ARC5] T-18 restoration...

[Peter Bertini]

I picked this one up from a local ham... it was modified and pretty much
ruined
as a collector grade radio.  The set was modified for both crystal and VFO
operation, and the rear deck was drilled and butchered.  It started life
as an AN/ARC-5.  Unfortunately, the best I could do was to convert it
to work in a FT-226A rack, and a rear connector from a trashed chassis
was installed and wired on the rear apron.

The internal wiring was replaced as close to original as reasonable...
Fortunately I was able to locate the correct relay for the cathode
keying.  Still looking for an antenna relay and the correct antenna post.
Any leads would be appreciated..

I have a second T-18 from a member on this group who was
klnd enough to send it to me.  That one will be a little easier
to bring back to decent condition.
