Hi Mac,

For my application, I can usually just click on the URL in the email and get
right to the item.  Sometimes a mailer's word-wrap feature will put part of
the URL on the next line, but it's pretty simple to join the two lines and
click.

I have an old slow computer on a dial-up connection.  Ebay now has a
tremendous amount of overhead on each page.  Anything that saves me from
having to go through even one ebay page before getting to the target page
really helps me.  Others may be a similar position.

In any event, the item that you cited is a rack for a 1950s and 1960s era
A.R.C.-made commercial VOR.  I forget the commercial model numbers, but is
not Type 12.  It was also used on the military AN/ARN-30-series VORs.  If
military, then the rack with shock mount would be a MT-1174 and
MT-1175/ARN-30A.  The left slot holds the receiver (like a R-1021/ARN-30D)
and the right slot holds the signal converter (like a CV-265A/ARN-30A) that
processes the receiver output for display on the VOR course indicator.
