[MRCA] Need usabe chassis or?

[DSP3]

Gentlemen,

   I have a bit of a quandary, here.  I acquired a Navy R-24 receiver 
that had been partially stripped and with really bad condition cotton 
wiring.  I elected to remove the IFT set and the "front-end coil rack 
(and other usable parts).  I intended to use an available coil-less 
BC-453 as a conversion chassis.  However, the IFTs from SCR-274-N, 
although schematically same, are mechanically different.  They won't 
simply plug in.  The mounting tab plate is rotated slightly.  OK... at 
least I understand the issues.  Looking at the A.R.C. R-10 and R-11, I 
found that the coils, although again schematically same, the coils are 
not mounted via chassis plugs.  They are hard-wired.  So, can't do it 
that way.  Bottom line is, does anyone have a Navy ARC-5/R-23 in good 
condition, perhaps sans IFTs?  I've got this very nice, un-modified 
BC-453 (no IFTs) or a perfect working condition ARC R-11 that could be 
traded.

Finally, a general question:  Has anyone ever installed a BFO in an ARC 
R-10 or R-11?  I see the space for the BFO transformer and the dimple 
for an adjustment hole.   Tnx.
