Hi Bob: Thought I would reply off list.
When I read your post my first thought was that this is indeed a Small World. I grew up in Junction City, Oregon, graduating from High School in 1962. In 61 and 62, I also ran an Arc 5/T-17/Webster band spanner on 75M, in my Blue, two door, 51 Ford with two, two Barrel Carbs. As I recall I had some difficulty in occasionally snapping one of the rear axle shafts. The radio gear came from an Army Surplus store in Albany, Or. A J-38 was a nickel from a big barrel. Still have it, but the ARC 5 and the Ford are long gone. Hope you don't mind my sending you my memory. 73, Larry WB5OFD (ex-K7QCC) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bob Peters" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, January 27, 2005 7:55 AM Subject: [AMRadio] VIRGIN ARC 5's > Brings back old memories...In 1960 we had a ARMY SURPLUS store in Bangor, Maine > that stocked these with all the accessories ...Paid $5.00 a unit...
