[Boatanchors] [Milsurplus] URM25

[rbethman]

It sounds like the KISS Electronics refurbish of the AN/URM-25.

Just someone figured it out earlier.  KISS replaced the 6X4 with a 
rectifier assembly and added the requisite capacitors.

They also did a fair bit of other mods while they still were 
refurbishing them.
