I wonder who wrote that article?  

It appears to be very comprehensive and is in the March 2004 Issue which is the first of the renovated new style CAPS Sound Box issues.  

I appreciate your mentioning it, I have all the new improved issues, but since I joined years later and got the back issues I have not read them all yet.  The article even shows the Post-War model 5H with the RCA sound box.
