I had a BCB ARC-5 rcvr back in the early 80s. They were a tad pricier
even back then than the more common SW units.
I looked in an old 1950s CQ mag and the BCB ARC 5 sets were even then bringing
4x what the SW sets were selling for, eg $40 instead of $10. Guess they always
were comparatively scarce.
