[ARC5] ARC-2 Information

[Scott Johnson]

Incidentally, after all I said, I forgot to comment on the ARC-2, which is
as plug and play as a WWII surplus HF radio gets. (The ARC-39 is post war,
or it would win those accolades). I have, I think four ARC-2/2As.  All but
one played when I fired it up, and I agree, the comforting whine of a
dynamotor is music.  I am making an effort to deploy all my mil surplus
radios as built, including my BC-375, which has matched, properly
neutralized tuning units.  It is stable enough, and fairly chirp-free.  I
still maintain that the post-WWII ham crowd could only guess as to how to
connect and operate most of the surplus they bought, Most of the time, they
didn't even know how the equipment was deployed/employed.

Except: Scott, the machines with one side of the AC line connected directly
to chassis were bottom end, such as the buzzbox welders advertised in
magazines and kit radios for young people. ( "Regressive Edu-Kit" was one )
TVs and radios did not have the chassis connected DIRECTLY to AC line. 
ONE ham rig did, I think SBE-13. I have one somewhere. Had a safety
indicator lamp on front panel.
