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
