Well I was just taking another look at Dave's photos before adding them to my "puzzlers" page, when I noticed the non-navy serial number on the RAS-5 tag. I'll bet two inflated dollars vs a non-inflated donut that Bob Peters K1JNN (SK) and Glen Zook K9STH (SK) are responsible for this particular RAS-5

Recently acquired this complete RAS receiver rack.
I've seen and have WWII-era U.S. Navy receivers
which were originally black wrinkle with the old
paint stripped, repainted with gray-to-blue-gray
untextured paint and with (if they are in
good condition) their nomenclature plates remounted.
This one has been stripped and professionally repainted,
but all the tags have been replaced with laminated paper.

Anyone seen this before?  What do you think?
