[ARC5] SSB Transceiver from a BC-453

[Robert Nickels]

I suspect many of you have seen the documentation about this conversion 
that was designed by Ernie Mason W6IQY and documented by Ed Marriner 
W6BLZ in 1961.   I don't want to get into the ethics of modifying 
command sets - it was done then for reasons that made good sense at the 
time.

What I would like to know is - has anyone ever seen one of these 40 
meter transceivers in person?    Or possibly knows of any that still exist?
