Yes, there were several different styles of the .52 to 1.5 MHz remote tuning dials between the ARA, SCR-274-N, and AN/ARC-5 sets.? The one that was always supplied and stored on the R-24/ARC-5 tube cover is officially the ID-26/ARC-5, but it will only be marked with a four-digit A.R.C. part number.? I think Mike Hanz has these shown on aafradio.org.
?
The main reason for existence of the R-24 was for use with the AN/ARR-1 "ZB" homing adapted and the AN/ARN-9 "Air Trak" ILS, but the AN/ARR-1 was replaced by the AN/ARR-2 and the AN/ARN-9 was replaced by the AN/ARN-5 glide slope with RC-103-A localizer ILS receivers by 1944.
?
The R-24 was a white elephant, but it was ALWAYS supplied with its remote tuning dial.
?
I don't know of a source.? I got mine on ebay.

Anybody know if there was a remote tuning dial made for the ?coffee grinder? remote tuner for the R-24/ARC-5 receiver? Also, would anybody have an idea where I might buy one if there were made?

I just have the MC-415 issued for the BC-946 and the ARC 5611 for the
R-24/ARC-5, Mike.? Photo below.? There is no part number marking on the
MC-415, but there is mention of it in the description of the BC-946-B in
an addendum to T.O. 08-10-50 dated 15 Feb 1943 for the SCR-274-N set.?
Like all the earlier remote control receiver tuning dials, it is simply
engraved with white paint filler.? The 5611 has wider electroluminescent
paint numerals that glow brightly under a UV light.
A UV light doesn't do much for the SCR-274-N set.
