[Milsurplus] ACR-5 Mobile

[WA5CAB at cs.com]

Al,

If I had a vote (which I don't), of all of the options mentioned I'd go with 
the 14-28 converter floating across a small 24 volt battery.  Advantage over 
the capacitors Dave mentioned (which would be my 2nd choice) is that you could 
run the receiver a long time and the transmitter a short time without the 
engine running and without risking finding yourself stranded with a dead vehicle 
battery.  And cost would be substantially the same.  If you mod all of the 
units you wouldn't be demonstrating a "real" military radio set.

Anyway, to the parts you mentioned, I have one decent condition MT-69/ARC-5 
single transmitter rack.  Paint is pealing off of the box rear cover but the 
rest of it just has the usual minor chips.  $50 plus shipping.
