[Milsurplus] R-26M/ARC-5 autotuned receiver

[WA5CAB at cs.com]

The Yardney Spot Tuner, or Automatic Selector Mechanism, is C-131/AR.  The 
manual is AN 08-35C131-2.  It is applicable to ARA and AN/ARC-5 receivers.  The 
manual covers installation as well as operation and maintenance but never 
mentions a specific receiver model nor how the modified receiver should be marked.
