[Milsurplus] [ARC5] Special phone jack needed for a friends Stinson L-5

[Taigh Ramey]

Please forgive me as I was shooting from the hip on the radio numbers. I
hope this does not reflect poorly on Bill's project, his eye for
authenticity or his ability to find and use the correct radios. I am just
trying to help him with his request simply for the 90 degree phone plug.

Once again I appologize,

Small points that have nothing to do with Plug-Quest...but the other
receiver is a RCA AVR-20-A1 made by Continental Radio.  The RCA AVT-112 is
