[Milsurplus] [ARC5] RAJ CBY-46046, AC Power Unit CBY-20040

[Todd, KA1KAQ]

Here's a shot of the connectors with toggles. The other side has fewer
connectors and one toggle.

I wish it was mine - I saved all the photos off ebay years back for
reference. Fairly sure it came out of August's collection, the background
seems to support this.

At the time I was low on money and couldn't bid. It went high, but not
outrageously so, as I recall. Maybe $150? Perhaps someone on these lists is
the new owner.

I'll send the rest directly, 7-8 shots total.
