Yes. Although I cannot remember the name of the 
company at the moment (my VT-4Cs are out at work), I will 
dig it out and post it here later today.

They are made in China, and appear to be identical to the 
pair of old military ones I also have, with the same sized 
carbon (?) plates.

I bought these new for $75 for the pair.

A couple of years ago, during eBay's slack season in late 
August, I bought 10 or so VT-4Cs off eBay at an average 
price of around $20.00 each, then resold them for my cost 
plus shipping to several people like you who needed them.

I kept two for myself.

>From other accounts I have heard, the Chinese-made VT-
4Cs work just fine in the BC-375. Several people who use 
those in that rig have had zero problems with them.

The audio-phools don't care for them because they don't 
have that "golden tone" (Crap!)
