[ARC5] SCR-183: Clean, Lube and Tips

[David Stinson]

I don't address wiring filaments separately.
It would defeat my purpose.
My focus is on running the system as close
to "as designed" as possible- on the dynamotor, with
it's control boxes, no wires hanging out of the sides etc.
First- the radio has to work.  Mummy-Radios gather no interest,
so they don't survive long-term.
Second- It has to work as close to "as-designed" as is practical
($500 worth of tubes for a QRP radio isn't practical).
Drilling holes, changing connectors, etc. strictly forbidden.

I have done so successfully and repeatedly, using 6AQ5, 5763
and a set of original tubes, resulting in many good QSOs on both
CW and AM.  I'm working on presenting the
information; it's just going to take some time.  I am very slow
in my old age.
