When I was trying to build up the gear for a complete ARC set up with tuning controls, I was picking up odds and ends along the way. I have a project I will never get to that maybe someone might be interested in. It consists of of transmitter and receiver mounted to a large aluminum chassis, with all the stuff you needed to power both rigs up, power supplies, including a modulator for the transmitter. It is probably the biggest Budd chassis made, something like 17 X 12 X 4. Of course this is big and heavy, dirty and dusty, but would be willing to send it to someone for the cost of shipping. If you want to be surprised, I'll just send it, but if you need a pic, will crawl my way to it and take one. One thing I remember is that the RX was for 80 meters, but the TX was the next one up, 5.3-7 (?) so the original builder must have converted it to 80.
I also have a NIB FT241 (Black) for a pair of SCR274N TX's and a triple receiver rack (unpainted aluminum), some extra RX's and TX's, mostly unmodified and complete in good shape, and a couple triple receiver tuning controls, (missing the dials). If the ER article last month whetted you appetite, I have a couple ARC60 sets with racks, receivers, converters, one transmitter, a remote tune control that will tune the RX's, and a few connectors for the racks, sorry, not giving these away, but will make a deal for a normal real world hamfest price.
I had some of the ARC stuff on QTH a long time ago, and got one inquiry, but I could not find where I stored them all, plus a big problem came up within the family that took all my time for a couple years, so if you are the fellow that inquired, sorry I forgot you.
