[ARC5] Post-War R-13 VHF (came in 12 and 24V versions)

[George Babits]

Well, the control heads seem to be plentiful as are the connectors.   Hardest thing if getting the spline tuning cable which is the same as the ARC-5/SCR-274 gear.   I made a pretty good one with some ¼” air brake line and a speedometer inner core.   Works good.   Fortunately I had a couple of makeshift knobs so I had the spline and nut.

Should have said Type 12 AND 15 sets.

Sure wish the later A.R.C. Type 12 sets had retained the local frequency dial. It couldn't have been that much of a cost saving plus doesn't a dial make it easier to set up the control box accurately?
Imagine if the SCR-274N & ARC-5 receivers had been designed with no local dials. After WWII, 98% would have been just stripped for parts.
