[MRCA] Recent acquisitions WS #19

[D. Platt]

Yes, your observation(s) is correct, its a MK II, clearly indicated on 
the tag.  I'll be looking in to re-capping this week.. unless having the 
book is mandatory before starting!   Question, though.. where would the 
"B" set dog-bone (Pye???)  be used?  The one I have consists of two rt. 
angle plugs.  So, I guess I'm OK.  I have to return to get a lot more 
stuff, to include the protective cage covers and I think one more spares 
kit we left behind.  I do not have the variometer and will have to keep 
looking for it at the guy's QTH.  I can't imagine it not being there... 
someplace.   And... gentlemen, I very much appreciate all the kind 
attention you've provided on this project.  I'm sure I'll get it going, 
one way or another.

Breck..... In that load there was a brand new ARC-1 w/ shockmount.  It 
still has the cover and the tuning tool.  Maybe we can ARC-1 to ARC-1 
one of these days?
