interesting.. for ART-13 owners, keep an eye out for the special power supply..
Nice find, that power supply was extremely rare. I have never seen or heard of one for sale. Another thing that strikes me, the TCZ version of the ART-13 were often painted Navy gray, while the Army Air ART-13s were black wrinkle.
The ART-13 was designed for aircraft use and intuitively, I feel that not very many were used on ships, which could easily carry heavier and more QRO radio equipment.
The inside of the ART-13 shows that it was primarily designed for use in the thin air of high-altitude bombers..The conductors carrying high voltage are all large diameter to prevent corona.
My own TCZ version came from a Navy aircraft, and yes, it's painted gray.
I have a quite the pile of ART-13 literature and a very rare Army bench test and alignment manual. Also a nice hand written letter from Roy Olson, WA6THD (SK), the ART-13 designer (also the 75A-1) dated 1991 saying that he owned an ART-13, "...but I doubt that I shall ever put on the air...at age 80+ it may be problematical."
I probably should scan all of this stuff and share it online somewhere.
