[Milsurplus] ART-13

[WA5CAB at cs.com]

Scott and Rick,

No, the only externally visible evidence of the conversion is the CDA-T 
itself (in place of the O-17/ART-13A) and the T-412/ART-13B nameplate on the right 
end.  Some of the rotary switches are replaced in the conversion but you 
cannot tell it from the outside.  I'm sitting here looking at a black and white 
glossy 8x10 of a brand-new just modified T-47A.

Rick, does the lower front cover have jack covers riveted to it or are all of 
the jacks visible?
