I have come across an original AN/ARC-5 manual NAVAER 08-5Q-95 - 21 Feb 1944. 

Is there a pdf on the web somewhere? If not, let me know and I’ll scan this one before mailing it to a new home. 

As usual, in the event of multiple requests I’ll make an arbitrary decision based on factors like-
A good story about why you want it
Your past helpfulness to me and others
Your contributions to list discussions
Phase of the moon or other random factors 

If you send a message that only says “I want it” you are unlikely to have your wish fulfilled. 

Remember - Books can cure ignorance, but not stupidity. 

Cheers
