Really is!   It could be argued that the Heathkit lunchboxes were the 
most modified rigs after ARC-5s, but in this case it looks like the 
front panel, speaker, and a couple of controls are all that was kept of 
it.    Dachsund  may refer to the stretched cabinet?   It looks like the 
"Sixer" portion uses the ICM modules as a receiving converter to feed 
the ARC-5 receiver and a whole new transmitter was built and while the 
receiver would have been an improvement, it doesn't look like the 
transmitter is capable of much more power than the original.

Points for the color-coordinated paint job!
