TRANSMITTERS SEE FIGURE 5 FOR THE CORRECT DIAGRAM WHEN WIRING YOUR PLUGS.
SPEAKING OF PLUGS HOW CAN WE CONNECT TO THE TRANSMITTER AND RECEIVER WHEN
THE PLUGS ARE ODD AND IT IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND THEIR MATES?  FIRST,
IT IS USEFUL TO KNOW THAT THE HOLES IN THE BACK PANEL SOCKETS FIT STANDARD
MINI BANANA PLUGS SEE FIGURE 6.  THESE ARE SMALLER THAN THE STANDARD BANANA
PLUG, BUT NOT HARD TO FIND.  SIMPLY FIT THE INDIVIDUAL PLUGS INTO THE
VARIOUS REAR SOCKET HOLES.  ANOTHER OPTION FOR THE BC TRANSMITTERS ALUMINUM
IS TO SALVAGE AN IF CAN PLUG SET FROM A PARTS ONLY COMMAND RECEIVER.  THIS
PLUG SET HAS SIX OF THE BANANA PLUGS THAT MATCH THE TRANSMITTER SOCKET
EXACTLY EXCEPT IT IS MISSING THE CENTER PLUG.  FOR THE ARC 5 TRANSMITTERS
BLACK THE INDIVIDUAL PLUGS WILL FIT, BUT THE SPACING IS NOT THE SAME, SO
YOU CAN USE ONLY THE SEPARATED BANANA PLUGS.  THE HIGH VOLTAGE CENTER
SOCKET CONNECTION CAN BE ADDED AS SEEN IN FIGURE 7.  FIND A STRANDED WIRE
