[Milsurplus] ARC-5 Transmitter Crystals

[WA5CAB at cs.com]

If I've ever seen an actual list, I've forgotten it.  But my impression has 
always been that they were single point references for a quick reset after for 
example a tube change.  The holder is generally marked DC-8-(*).  For the 
4.0-5.3 and 5.3-7.0 transmitters, I've seen (had) two different frequencies each.  
For the other three common ones, only one.  I don't know about the three 
lowest frequency MF ones.  The AN/ARC-5 maintenance manual's parts list just says 
to specify the desired frequency when ordering.
