Congrats OM
The BC-946 and it's earlier models are the next to the rarest, or least manufactured the least being the 1.5-3mc model only made as the ARC-5 version. Don't believe the bcb model was made in the ARC-5 version only CCT&BC models. The army back in the 50's took a bunch of the BC-453's and converted them to BC-946. I think I've got one of those around here somewhere. The only difference is the plug in coils, Rf/IF, and the bfo transformer. Also back in the day they where snapped up and used a car radios.
Have had a few of them over the years and they are hot set on the BC band. They also had the variable IF coupling like the Q5er/BC-453 so they can be broad as a barn or sharp as a razor. If you like to listen in on the SW bands a Gonset super6 ahead of it works great too.
