Well, I finally accomplished the hand-off of a virtually NIB ART-13
transmitter and will (hopefully) have it on the air, shortly. Although
its new, it is in need of a couple of cosmetic items. I need one
front-panel handle as it has a hairline crack in it. Also, I need an
ART-13 tag for the right side. For whatever reason, somewhere along the
line, someone felt the necessity to remove the original one. The two
screws are there but the tag is gone..... Although the book, etc.
identifies it as a Navy unit, the tag required is the standard, long,
rectangular "ART-13" version vice the smaller, plastic Navy ATC tag.
Any help or leads will be appreciated. I have a spare autotune motor,
813s, audio driver transformers, etc. to possibly trade.
In addition to the above, might anyone have the ART-13A style VFO
control calibration vernier scale. Its the plate that goes behind the
knob and is adjusted by the corrector knob. The A-model replaces the
single mark calibration plate on the straight ART-13. I was able to
replace the one on my ATC when I found a complete VFO knob and gear
assembly on Ebay a few years ago. I've not seen one, since! Its a shot
in the dark, but who knows..........
I also have a question... will the unit serial number appear anywhere
else on the chassis? Not that it makes any difference, it might be nice
to know where in the production cycle it rests. I'm also trying to
identify if its a Collins unit or by another contractor. That said, the
part numbers visible appear to be the same as on a Collins ATC I already
have.
