I always try to push a shaver somewhat to see how they perform under more difficult conditions, and anything over 3 days of growth when shaving with the Arc 5 (as expected) meant I had to shave over the same areas too many times. Also, some of the third-generation revision C models can be found at reasonable prices and are available in Europe and the USA. That said, I am really skeptical about any significant performance leap since again the cutting system of the Arc 5 Pro is identical.

The following is a table of ARA/ATA, SCR-274-N, and AN/ARC-5 major components that could comprise a typical three-receiver, two-transmitter installation, with other configurations also being possible. In addition, several miscellaneous components are listed. A blank in the component ID column indicates that no equivalent unit existed for that system. A.R.C. refers to Aircraft Radio Corporation.

How can I avoid damaging a battery

Three days is the highest limit without needing to trim the beard first before shaving, and I already knew this. My unconventional restoration of this radio followed strict rules so as to minimize the evidence of repair both inside and out yet make this radio perform again as though it came fresh off the assembly line. Let’s see how I did. The new Arc 5 Pro continues to be a family of foil electric shavers with 5 active, individual cutting elements.

However, it’s also one of the most confusing lines of shavers out there: countless updates, revisions and model names that make no sense. In my opinion if you found the old foil adequately comfortable, there’s really no point in spending more just to get one of the new ones. I think it’s worth it if you can easily get the set for roughly the same money, otherwise you can just get the original one. Some users find it annoying for precisely that reason; I personally haven’t had any issues with it and the closeness has been just as good.

The third Arc 5 generation also introduced some impressive flexing capabilities of the shaving unit ( revision C and up). The flexible shaving head of the latest Arc 5. And since the performance of those is pretty much identical, you should definitely buy the cheaper one — whichever that may be. The CBY-46104 covers 1.5-3 Mc either AM or CW (it can also tune in SSB in CW mode), made by the Aircraft Radio Corporation of Boonton N.J. in February 1942 with SN# 1777. The contract for this run was #74812 dated June 29, 1940, demonstrating the ramp-up in war materiel purchasing/production in advance of Pearl Harbor. In other words, they were planning ahead for this conflict (an interesting book on this topic, how war production in the US was set up in advance by an executive from General Motors who established GM’s global supply chain in the 20’s and 30’s).
