I had an arc 65. When I was in air force mars, they gave each of us one arc 65 including the automatic antenna tuner.
These radios were also used in the Titan missile sites. They were modified from the original. I believe that those radios had a vacuum variable capacitor rather than an oil filled capacitor (the capacitor was embedded in a plastic box).
I am curious . . . where did any one find these? I got mine in 1969.
As compared to the Collins 618T, the Collins rig was really built well.
I do miss doing maintenance in the air force. Had a lot of fun.
