[Milsurplus] ART-13

[Scott Johnson]

That is most likely a real mod, that was used to switch bank of crystals in 
the ART-13B mod.  It should also have and extra large Jones socket in the LF 
osc area.  These were postwar modificationd to allow 20 crystal controlled 
channels, still using the autotune. used by both the military and early 
postwar airlines, as the FCC required crystal control on the HF bands. Very 
nice if you have the C-DAT oscillator for it.  I may have an extra if you 
don't have it.

73,
Scott
