Todd,
I run an ART-13 unmodified with the dynamotor for normal AM use, I use the
lollipop mic as found with the WS19 set, tank radio, the one with the holes
in (Microphone hand no3), the T-17 is no good and you will not get the mod.
use in the carbon mic setting. I am interested in your 160m mod for the LF
unit as I have both, do you have that to hand as I would like to operate top
band using this radio. I also have a BC-610 but that is another story.
I found that in the dynamic position you have to have a small preamp to get
full mod, if you run it right with a carbon mic and get the plate needle to
kick upto 200 mills then the mod is 99%. I have had very good success with
my ART-13 and get around 90 - 120w of carrier which is about right, I have
had QSO's Stateside from the UK using this and an inverted V doublet.
I also run a couple of computer fans sucking the air OUT of the rear of the
transmitter, keeps it happy that way, also acts as a very good room heater
on these cold mornings hihi. Good luck and get it on the air soon.

Along with the group here, I'd suggest the milsurplus list as a source
of info, parts, and so on. There are some very simple (and reversible)
things you can do to improve the audio, switching the mic to dynamic
(under the frequency chart) is a good start. Robert Downs has
connectors, Fair Radio did have, maybe Wm. Perry too. Do you have the
dynamotor for it?
Will this cover 160
Did it come with the proper LF oscillator installed? There were two,
one has a three position frequency switch, the other has 5. You want
the latter, then 160 is a cinch.
