[Milsurplus] ART-13 Assistance Please

The maintenance manual for AN/ART-13B (T-412/ART-13B, which is either a 
T-47A, modified Cxx-52286 or modified T-47 with CDA-T installed) is T.O. 
12R2-2ART13-2 dated 30 March 1956 revised 25 June 1958.  I sell a complete hard 
copy.  The crystal oscillator installation unit is know as CDA-T.  I have the 
installation instructions for that as well.  

The operating manual for the B model is T.O. 12R2-2ART13-1 dated 17 
September 1944 revised 26 September 1968.  Hard copy also available.

One comment I'll will make about the CDA-T plug-in (doesn't pertain to 
Mack's tranmitter) is that if you bought aplug-in thinking you were going to 
easily convert the transmitter to crystal control, forget it.  Or be prepared 
to do a bunch of work, including making brackets and wiring harnesses.  I 
once had I think it was three complete installation kits, which I sold to 
people all of whom I think are still list members.  One of them commented that if 
he had had several to do, probably by the third or fourth one he could have 
gotten the conversion time down to two full days.  :-)  FWIW, the 
installation instructions do contain enough information such that it would be 
"possible" to make an installation kit.
