[ARC5] BC-454-B Power

>Also, FYI, every single one of the "ARC-5" receivers I presently own have been hacked, some horribly. I have several BC-453s and/or R-23/ARC-5s hacked so that they only tune to
23.5 kHz. as an example.

>"Back in the day", when cars had 6 V electrical systems, changing the tubes and rewiriing for
6 V was probably useful sometimes, but that is no longer true.

Ken - what was on 23.5 kHz ?
Also - I found in my junque a power resistor made for dropping 12 volts to 6 for older car radios. It had a couple
taps to select, depending on the current draw of the radio. Didn't seem to me like a great idea, but it apparently
worked well enough to be a commercial product - maybe short-lived.
