ARC cessna transponder information wanted

[dave]

i'm working on a plane and his RT459A transponder is not working properly.
I would suspect that it may be cheaper to replace than to fix it.

Are all the ARC transponders interchangeable?
If not, which ones are/aren't?
Are there any replacement transponders that will fit the tray?

Thanks

Dave

AFIK, RT359A and RT459A are slide-in interchangable. All are actually
14V with a dropping resistor on the tray in 28V installations.

Not AFIK.
