[Boatanchors] ARC 5 stuff

[Lawrence Mayhew]

Are any of you old enough to have actually used ARC-5 in the military? The
plane I was taught to fly in, the SNJ, used a rack of ARC-5 RX and TX stuff.
That was in 1953/54.
Regards all, .....Larry in Seattle

WOW!!   A lot more interest than I thought there might be.
I will get some numbers off of the stuff and post it back here.  As I said,
some have tubes, some don't.  A few do have dynamotors too.
I know there is also one VHF or UHF unit that has two finals in it ..  I
THINK they are 832 tubes?   Might be mistaken, but they are short squatty
finals with two wire anodes on the top.

Anyhow...  will get back to the group here with a list, hopefully this
evening.
No idea what the stuff is worth, but we can dicker if there is still any
interest.

I used an ARC 5 receiver when I was a novice and have a 75/80 meter
transmitter and receiver in my shack now .. more for sentimental reasons,
but I fire up the receiver every once in a while.  I remember being able to
stick a safety pin in the receiver antenna post and pick up signals like
gangbusters.
